Real-World Mechanics in the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348

The Tamiya 56357-56545 Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348 6x4 RC Tipper Truck Kit captures the practical profile of the Arocs at a true-to-scale 1/14 size, aimed at modellers who expect rugged build quality and accurate mechanical behaviour. It makes a solid platform for custom electronics and finishes.

Frame, Springs and Drive

This kit uses an aluminum ladder frame and metal leaf springs with friction dampers to recreate a heavy-duty suspension setup. The front-mounted motor connects to a 3-speed gearbox that powers two rear axles via differentials, offering realistic torque distribution and handling under load.

Adding Radio Features

Pairing a 4-channel radio with Tamiya multi-function units adds cab lights, engine sounds and vibration to the experience. Installing the optional Electric Actuator Set (Item 56545) enables remote control of the dump bed for demonstrations or working dioramas.

ACU-01 Actuator Overview

The ACU-01 provides a geared motor with limit switch protection to keep bed movement precise. It integrates with standard ESCs and Tamiya controllers, so you can add tipping action without extensive rewiring.

This Tamiya kit is a dependable base for builders who want realistic motion and a tough chassis. The optional actuator and multi-function electronics expand play and display possibilities.
