Detailed scale engineering in the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 56357

The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 56357 blends accurate exterior styling with working mechanical systems. This 1/14 scale tipper is built to be both a realistic display piece and a capable RC rig for driving sessions.

Realistic bodywork and optional actuator control

Exterior detail, the tilting tipper bed and cab components reflect careful model engineering. For moving the bed remotely fit the optional Actuator Set (Item 56545), which works with standard radio controls.

Strong chassis and traditional suspension setup

Its ladder frame chassis uses aluminum side channels with resin cross members for a tough base. Metal leaf springs and friction dampers form the suspension, and rear differentials deliver smoother cornering performance.

Transmission layout and add-on electronics

A front-mounted motor feeds a 3-speed gearbox to give a convincing drive sensation. The twin driven rear axles provide traction for hauling loads. Installing a 4-channel R/C system and a multi-function unit (sold separately) adds lights and sound.

The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 56357 offers robust build quality and scale-accurate features, making it a popular pick for hands-on enthusiasts who enjoy both building and running scale trucks.

Basic modelling tools like cutters, files, screwdrivers, a hobby knife and thread-lock for metal screws will help. A small set of metric sockets or spanners is handy for chassis assembly.
Yes, many builders fit aftermarket tyres, metal upgrade parts and scale accessories. Check compatibility with the 1/14 scale mounting points before purchasing upgrades.
Install a multi-function unit and a 4-channel receiver; these let you control headlights, indicators and sound modules. Wiring runs are planned into the chassis for tidy installation.
The 3-speed gearbox and drive train are designed for scale loads, but ensure battery placement and weight do not overload the drivetrain. Choose a battery that fits the recommended tray and mounting points.
Tamiya offers replacement parts and many common wear items can be sourced through hobby suppliers. Keep spares like suspension pins and drive components for longer running life.
