Tamyia's Mercedes Benz 1850L model is an incomparable replica that reflects the look and performance of the original size truck. A powerful 540 electric motor is installed below the faithfully reproduced driver's cab and a servo-switched 3-speed transmission allows the available engine power to be used effectively. The rear load container is equipped with high quality aluminium side plates and the rear doors can be fully operated. Semi pneumatic synthetic rubber tyres and chromed wheels increase the degree of authenticity.

The firm Tamiya is specialized in high quality RC-vehicles (cars, trucks and buggies) and one of the leading manufacturer in this genre. This japanese company is based in Shizuoka and produces detailed reproductions of coveted vehicles since 1976. "Tamiya Fighter-Cup" is the name of the annual racing series. Since 1990 the final of Germany takes place in Sonneberg.
