Realistic Tipping Control Using the Tamiya 56545 Actuator

The Tamiya 56545 Actuator Set equips the Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348 Dump Truck and similar 1/14 scale models with lifelike tipping movement. Its design centres on repeatable, controllable operation so your tipper performs consistently across runs.

ACU-01 Drive with Geared Motor for Smooth Travel

The ACU-01 drive unit contains a geared Type 280 motor with a 64:1 reduction, producing steady, controlled motion when lifting and lowering the bed. It is sized for use with 4-channel radios and pairs well with radios such as the Tamiya 4ch Attack 2.4GHz.

Protection Features and Integration Notes

Limit switches are built in to prevent over travel and protect mechanical parts. Be aware that the actuator shares the same R/C channel as the Motorized Support Legs (Item 56505), so those items cannot be active at the same time. Integration with standard ESCs and Tamiya multi-function controllers like MFC-01 and MFC-03 is supported.

Ideal Upgrade for 1/14 Scale Model Builders

From first-time upgraders to experienced model makers, this actuator set enhances the operational realism of Tamiya 1/14 scale dump trucks and helps replicate authentic tipper behaviour.

Specifications

  • Compatibility: Fits Tamiya 1/14 scale R/C dump truck models
  • Motor: Geared Type 280 motor with 64:1 gear reduction
  • Control Unit: ACU-01 actuator controller
  • Recommended Radio: Tamiya 4ch Attack 2.4GHz transmitter suggested
  • Limit Switches: Included for travel limitation

The Tamiya 56545 Actuator Set is a practical enhancement for hobbyists aiming for smoother, more authentic tipping operation on 1/14 scale tippers.

as usual a very fast and efficient company to deal with.
Some non standard or heavily modified chassis may require custom mounting brackets or minor fabrication to secure the actuator in the correct position.
Yes, the actuator works alongside typical ESC setups and can be controlled via your receiver. Just ensure channel mapping does not conflict with other devices like Motorized Support Legs (Item 56505).
Limit switches stop movement at preset points to avoid over travel. You may need to adjust linkage lengths and endpoints during installation so the switches trigger at the correct positions for your model.
The actuator uses a Type 280 motor with a 64:1 gear ratio, offering a balance of speed and torque suitable for controlled tipper movement without excessive strain.
Tipping speed can be tuned via transmitter endpoints and throttle curves where supported, or by adjusting linkage geometry to change mechanical advantage, giving you control over how fast the bed rises and lowers.
