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.
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.
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.
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.
