New Tamiya 1/14 770S 8x4/4 Unboxing

We unbox and review the parts of the new Tamiya 770S 8x4/4 semi truck kit.

[silverrick]

Looks like a fantastic kit! Can’t wait to watch you build it!

[jamesfisk]

Yes Tamiya listen to Bob... please build another American truck, preferably a 1977 Mack R series.

[RCX]

This is gonna be an amazing build. The truck is a looker. Agree with you, Tamiya make another american truck. Mack truck would be cool.

[superdutyscaler]

Tamiya needs to make a new American rig

[richardgoda]

dont know if they have car hauler semi & trailer like to see and build

[webb-]

Would you be able to show lighting up the dash I know you've done other vid in it but I'm just about to start my Scania 770s build and would like to light up my dash

Beautiful truck but no Mack and I still use slide trim for all my Tamiya trucks.

[eprohoda]

Howdy?. interesting unboxing!I'll be back, Hobbyconcepts-llc!

[froop]

A pretty embarrassing release from Tamiya. There's way better options on the market from other manufacturers with better features, performance and looks. Not even a servo for the lifting axle? Come on. Even Hercules Hobby does locking differentials in the plastic kits.

Looks like the trailer hitch replacing the one on the Tamiya pole trailer

Here's your new army truck Bob💪

I have the kit and i have build it so far as it can without glueing
8x4/4 means 8 wheels and 4 are drivewheels and 4 are steering even if the lift axle is up it still steer along with the steering front axle

[bornforbikeing]

Any chance the merc 1850l in the background is for sale ?

[josephcox]

8 is the points of wheel to ground. 4 is points of actual powered drive, /4 is the points of steerable wheels hope that helps.

[krmodelsltd]

So the 8x4/4 is an 8 wheeled with 4 drives and 4 stears.

[TillTheCollapse]

and they still use the useless no torque garbage gearbox😪

[michaelthomas]

8 = 8 wheels, as duals aren't counted as seperate wheels, the first 4 = number of driven wheels, the /4 = number of wheels for steering. but the /4 usually isn't mentioned on a normal truck, due to the fact that it is standard to have 2 wheels that steer, but the / means an option for that many wheels with the axle dropped.

[JanKoneczny]

Finally 1/14 next gen. I'm excited for your build.

[PeterWolffe-chct]

Hiya Bob. Just to say great talks and videos you do
I'm working on a Scania 6x4 as a retired HGV 1driver across the pond.

[RCBirds]

Thanks for showing Bob. This is one of my favorite new model this year. But wasn't it announced as 8x6? (BTW 8 wheels 4 driven / 4 steered - for normal thesteered aren't mentioned). Maybe it was too expensive to put a third driven axle into the kit🤔.

Looking forward for your build
