Tamiya 56545 Electric Actuator for 1/14 Scale R/C Tippers  [56545]

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.

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