Tamiya 56316 Knight Hauler Metallic Show Truck Kit  [56316]

Tamiya 56316 Knight Hauler Metal-Plated Tractor Truck

The Tamiya 56316 Knight Hauler Metallic Special presents a fully metal-plated 1/14 scale cab that stands out at meets and on the bench. The plated panels accept Tamiya clear coat sprays so you can craft custom metallic shades and highlights to suit your build style.

Proven Chassis and Detail

This model has held a firm place among fans due to its ladder-type chassis that supports rigid axles and leaf spring suspension. Fitted with an RS540 motor and a finely modelled body, the kit delivers both visual accuracy and reliable drive performance. Orange clear lamp lenses heighten the authentic look when lights are fitted.

Visual Upgrades with Plug-In Electronics

The Metallic Special swaps the standard body, roof spoiler and side trims for plated alternatives for a premium finish, while keeping the underlying mechanical layout identical to the standard kit. That means it accepts the Tractor Truck Multi-Function Control Unit (56511) if you want to add realistic lighting and sound functions.

The Tamiya 56316 Knight Hauler Metallic Special suits builders who want a standout display truck with the option to expand electronics and control realism, making it ideal for seasoned hobbyists and show collectors.
