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.
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.
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.
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.
