Tamiya 56340 1/14 Scale RC Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Model Kit  [56340]

Tamiya 56340 Scale Replication of the Freightliner Cascadia Evolution

As a 1/14 scale assembly kit, the Tamiya 56340 mirrors the Freightliner Cascadia Evolution with an emphasis on accurate exterior form and cabin detail. The model is aimed at modellers who want a faithful, buildable truck platform for display or running.

Faithful Aerodynamic Profile and Cabin Detail

Tamiya reproduced the Cascade Evolution's aerodynamic surfaces with reference input from Freightliner/Daimler so that lines and panel joins match the prototype. The kit includes a detailed cockpit area with dash and seats, and the exterior is enhanced by metal-plated parts finished in gloss and matte tones.

Sturdy Chassis Layout and Transmission Options

The chassis is a ladder frame combining aluminum side channels with resin cross members to keep structure rigid. It features a 3-speed transmission and a standard coupler for attaching compatible semi-trailers, with a conventional 4-channel radio controlling steering and throttle functions.

Leaf Spring Ride and Prop Shaft Drive

Authentic leaf springs and friction dampers simulate suspension movement, while the die-cast front axle and reinforced rear axle add resilience. The front-mounted 540-brushed motor sends power to the driven wheels via prop shafts, and internal differentials assist in smooth cornering.

With an emphasis on build fidelity and mechanical realism, the Tamiya 56340 Freightliner Cascadia Evolution is a solid base for collectors and modders alike.
