Precision scale modelling: the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 56357 in 1/14

The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 56357 is aimed at modellers who want accurate scale appearance combined with functional mechanics. This 1/14 tipper balances detailed exterior features with a serviceable mechanical layout for on-road and light off-road use.

Authentic styling and optional tipping action

Tamiya has captured fine exterior detail on the cab and dump bed. For a fully operational tipper install the optional Actuator Set (Item 56545) which allows remote raising and lowering of the bed through your transmitter.

Sturdy frame and classic suspension components

The ladder frame chassis uses aluminium side channels with resin cross pieces for a rigid platform. Metal leaf springs and friction dampers mirror traditional truck suspension and the built-in differentials improve handling in turns.

Powertrain arrangement and accessory choices

A front-mounted motor with a 3-speed gearbox gives a realistic driving feel and the two rear driven axles provide pulling power. Add a 4-channel radio and a separate multi-function unit to enable lights, sounds and other scale functions.

Combining faithful scale lines with dependable mechanical design, the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 56357 is a strong pick for enthusiasts who like to build and operate realistic truck models.

Basic kit building skills are useful. The parts fit precisely but detailed items and moving mechanisms require careful assembly and a modest tool set for best results.
You will need to supply a 4-channel radio, receiver, ESC, battery and suitable servos. A multi-function unit is optional for lights and sound and is sold separately.
The chassis and suspension are robust for scale use, but avoid very rough terrain. Upgrading tyres and checking suspension setup will improve performance on uneven surfaces.
Tamiya supplies spare parts and many hobby retailers stock common replacement items. Keep a list of part numbers handy when ordering spares to ensure compatibility.
