New Tamiya 1/14 770S 8x4/4 Unboxing 

Tamiya needs to make a new American rig

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.

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

Here's your new army truck Bob💪 Regards from the Netherlands

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

Simply stunning!!! So excited to watch your build.

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

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

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.

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.

Hi Bob, i got to tell you, your an awesome builder and also congratulations on your RU-vid announcement. There is no surprises there at home many viewers and subscribers you have. Your builds and videos are always eye catching, instructional and simply a joy to watch. Rather see a 40 minute of one of your build then mainstream TV:). Anyway enjoy your latest video on 770 and how you managed the axle lift...Awesome. There will most likely be an order placed this year for sure...thank you again for all the fun you bring to this hobby.

Super cool 😎 should do it someday ..

Mine arrived yesterday, I cant wait to start building it 👍

I just bought one and put it on the channel. This is my first venture in to Tamiya 1:14 scale trucks, REALLY looking forward to building it. I shall definitely watch your build videos

Can't wait for you to build this beauty.

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

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

Been eagerly awaiting this video!🎉 Thanks, Bob!

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

I'm going to have to save up. Looks like a really decent truck to put a driven front axle in!

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

The trailercouple (part XX13) is a replacement for the pole trailer so it can be towed by the Scania and the other trailercouple (part XX5) is a replacement for the towbar or drawbar

If possible include in your built the painting of the driver figure.

Looks like a good truck one to think about getting looks the market is flood with them could bring the price of second hand trucks down lovely video why having breakfast keep up the good work

Excellent video, just started building mine which arrived a couple of days ago. I am keen to see how you modify the lift axle with a servo. 👍

Can use the pintle hook for the pole trailer. Can't wait to see the build!

Wow I want that truck , what a beast. 👍

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

Nice truck

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

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

Nice Truck 👍

The front Axels are also both steering axles.

looks veru cool rig.i would love to see a kenworth from the company.i am a KW lover foryears.i drove a KW for many yeasr when i was driving a semi

Nice

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.

Supersweet kit, really tempted to get one.

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

👋 Bob, greetings from Germany 🇩🇪, I had the same Idea and build this amazing 🤩 Scania Truck next time . I really like this one, it’s my first and only Scania. I would look for some extra pieces for the light and soundsystem, aluminum rims for the wheels, other rear axels the are blocked for more grip when sliding and the other motor. It’s very interesting and I really watch your videos for tips to build beautiful trucks 🛻👍💪 I‘m curious how you do that with the lift axle and servo

Is the csb sprung?

Tamiya 1/14 Mack M45SX?

WOW 😊😊😊😊😊

How well do these Tamiya semis do off road? Not crawling but say, grass or semi-smooth trails?

Send this model to mack kenworth so they can see how u build and design real good trucks. Trucks u make toddy was good in 1980s

👍👍

In the UK this truck cost £900.

How new is this kit

Maybe someone could help me out and tell me what receiver/transmitter I need for this and whatever else I may need that's not included. I've done like 50 different Google searches and am really struggling to figure it out.

It costs £900 in the UK. 👎🏻😡😊

I can’t believe the price of this man and you have to pump more money in for the thing to run. It’s too expensive over a grand in Britain. Joke. I love the detail that tamiya do but they over charge the crap out of their kits. Even the cars, man they come with plastic ball bearings that are unfit for purpose. I remember in the 90s the boxes for the cars were amazing now they’re just stuck on pictures with everything loose in the box.

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.

and they still use the useless no torque garbage gearbox😪

American trucks are boring thats why tamya dont produce them.
