MAN TGS 8x8 (2819 pcs)

🚛 Build the MAN TGS 8x8 Truck with Hydraulic Crane and Remote Control!

The model based on the MAN TGS 8x8 inherits the striking characteristics of this heavy truck, known for its robustness and modularity in engineering and rescue applications.

Just like the real vehicle, the MAN TGS 8x8 with 2819 pieces to assemble replicates a four-axle truck with full traction, which translates into an imposing and well-balanced stance.

The design emphasizes realistic proportions, a detailed cab and the presence of an extended chassis to support implements such as cranes, platforms or special equipment, exactly how the TGS 8x8 is used in construction sites and military operations.

In terms of represented mechanics, the model seeks to convey the essence of the MAN TGS’s integral traction system.

Even though it is a buildable truck, the choice for multiple steering or powered axles echoes the architecture of a real 8x8, in which power and grip are intelligently distributed among the axles.

This configuration allows it to represent, in reduced scale, the truck’s ability to face rough terrain, transport heavy loads and maintain stability during demanding operations such as lifting and moving large volumes.

The History Behind the MAN TGS

The MAN TGS 8x8 is a truck developed by MAN Truck & Bus, a German company founded in 1915 and part of the Volkswagen group (Traton SE).

Launched in 2007 as part of the Trucknology Generation (TGS) series, it was designed for heavy-duty missions and extreme environments, combining full traction, hydraulic power and high mechanical efficiency.

Recognized worldwide for its robustness, the TGS 8x8 is widely used in industrial, military and logistical operations, as well as major infrastructure projects.

From German engineering to your collection: The MAN TGS 8x8 you can build!

The superstructure of this buildable truck, whether in the crane or the mechanical arm, is also inspired by the versatile use of the TGS 8x8.

The real vehicle serves as a platform for various specialized modules, and the buildable model follows the same philosophy by integrating articulated mechanisms, transmissions and actuators that simulate real field operations.

This setup offers not only visual fidelity but also a functional approximation of the engineering applied to modern heavy-duty trucks, capturing the balance between power, stability and adaptability that make the MAN TGS 8x8 a standard in the extreme-service vehicle industry.

From the traction system to the electric motor controlled by remote control, every detail of this model was inspired by the legendary MAN TGS 8x8, a true icon of German engineering.

Imagine yourself as the engineer who builds this wonderful machine and places it to decorate your desk or living room shelf. Bring that feeling into your home right now!

It is more than a toy: it is a true piece of engineering in miniature, with each stage of assembly awakening the sensation of operating a real machine.

2819 Pieces that Impress!

Each piece was designed to deliver realism and a perfect fit, with colors faithful to the original models and precise articulations.

Imagine assembling the MAN TGS 8x8 with almost 3,000 pieces, real gears and remote control together with your family and friends?

You will be building an automotive engineering icon with your own hands.

And the best part: with an Electric Motor and Remote Control.

⚙️ Realistic Engineering

The mechanical engineering of the MAN TGS 8x8 with 2819 pieces to assemble is built on a rigid chassis that functions as the “backbone” of the model.

This structure must distribute the weight of motors, extendable arms and pneumatic modules without deforming, while keeping articulation points firm.

The use of technical beams, longitudinal axles and locking pins creates a support mesh capable of withstanding the loads generated when the arm is lifted or when the vehicle moves.

The chassis geometry is also designed to keep the center of gravity low, reducing the risk of tipping.

The mechanical transmission system is another important core. High-torque electric motors send rotation to gears, axles and universal joints, which translate the energy into specific movements: steering, driving and operating the arm mechanisms.

Each gearing stage must balance speed reduction and torque increase so the model can move heavy parts slowly, yet with enough strength.

In addition, the servo motor provides fine angle control, allowing for more precise movements, especially in functions such as steering or rotating the superstructure.

🦾 Mechanical Arms and Smooth Movements

The arm and auxiliary mechanisms combine articulated kinematics with pneumatic elements, which expand the reach and functionality.

Pistons and air tubes generate smooth linear movements, while mechanical joints transform these displacements into lifting, extending or retracting.

The stability of the assembly depends on the precision of these moving points, which must minimize gaps to avoid losing efficiency.

Thus, the model integrates classic mechanical principles: levers, transmissions and actuators in a modular construction that faithfully replicates the structural logic of real engineering machines.

It’s like operating a professional truck, except now the engineer is you.

📏 Dimensions That Command Presence

With more than half a meter in length (53 cm long × 17 cm wide × 40 cm tall), this model impresses at first glance.

It is robust, proportional and conveys the same sense of weight and power as real machines. Every proportion was designed to transmit the weight and strength of a real machine.

Large enough to impress, detailed enough to amaze up close. It’s the kind of piece everyone sees and says: “wow, where did you get that?”

And the answer is simple: at Bricks Fans.

🔋 Electric Motors and Remote Control

This truck uses a relatively advanced motorized system for a buildable model, composed of multiple motors dedicated to different mechanical functions.

It includes three high-torque L-type electric motors, responsible for movements that require strength: such as arm lifting, activating pneumatic mechanisms or moving the upper structure.

In addition to a smaller M-type motor (or S, depending on the batch) for auxiliary functions.

The servo motor completes the set, ensuring steering control or rotational movements that require exact positioning.

This combination of motors allows the model to perform simultaneous and complex movements, coming close to the behavior of a real engineering vehicle.

Power for the entire system is supplied by a rechargeable Lithium 4.0 battery, integrated into an intelligent box that distributes energy to all motors.

This battery supports USB charging and normally takes about 150 to 180 minutes to fully charge.

In continuous use, it provides about 15 to 20 minutes of operation, which is typical for motorized models with multiple actuators.

The physical remote control works with 2.4 GHz technology, ensuring good signal stability and avoiding interference between multiple models operating nearby. The transmitter uses AAA batteries, separate from the vehicle’s main battery.

In addition to operation via physical remote control (included with the product), the truck can also be operated through a smartphone app using a Bluetooth connection.

This allows you to control the truck’s movement, activate mechanisms, adjust motor speed and, in many cases, access additional modes such as gyroscope control or on-screen slider interface.

The app expands the model’s flexibility, enabling vehicle operation without the physical controller and providing an extra layer of interactivity. It is especially useful when activating multiple functions without being limited to the buttons and levers of the traditional transmitter.
