Authentic Scale Tipper with Workhorse Appeal

The Tamiya 57072 presents the Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348 in a compact 1/14 package that keeps scale proportions and functional detail. The tipper styling and cab features make it a convincing miniature of the original heavy duty truck.

Performance Focused Layout

With a 6x4 drivetrain, the Tamiya 57072 provides steady traction for hauling and moderate off-road sections. The metal leaf spring setup and friction dampers contribute to a realistic ride that responds well to payload changes.

Ideal Uses and Customisation

Builders who want a mix of scale looks and performance will find the kit flexible. The polycarbonate body accepts paint and decals cleanly, while the chassis allows upgrades like stronger servos or a more capable ESC to suit heavier running.

Practical Setup Hints

Check spring alignment and body fit during assembly, and set up steering endpoints to reduce strain on linkages. If you plan to use the Tamiya 57072 on rough ground, consider welded or reinforced wheel hubs for longevity.

Specifications

The Tamiya 57072 is a reliable choice for enthusiasts seeking a buildable scale tipper that balances authenticity with upgrade potential.

Basic modelling tools, small screwdrivers, pliers and hobby knives are sufficient; a set of metric hex drivers and thread lock are useful for durable assembly.
The metal leaf springs are robust for light scale loads, but heavier accessories or frequent heavy use may benefit from upgraded springs or stronger mounting points.
A minimum 4-channel radio with a dependable steering servo and auxiliary channel for tipper control will cover basic needs; choose a quality receiver and battery to match your control range expectations.
Mask mounting points and windows before spraying, use thin paint coats for polycarbonate, and cure paints per manufacturer guidance to avoid cracking or warping.
