The Tamiya 23629 King Hauler recreates the look of classic long-haul American trucks in 1/14 scale, aimed at enthusiasts who want both display quality and operational realism. This RTR model pairs detailed styling with a functional drivetrain and finishing parts.
Under the body sits an aluminium ladder chassis that mirrors genuine truck construction, while the 3-speed gearbox delivers realistic gear changes and a useful spread of ratios. The solid-axle layout and leaf spring suspension contribute to credible scale articulation and stance.
The included Multi-Function Unit MFC-01 supplies nine LEDs for key lighting, 24 recorded sound cues such as engine and air brakes, and a vibration unit to simulate shifting and rumble. Together these features boost immersion during running or static demonstrations.
With a 600mm length and 447mm wheelbase, the King Hauler is a substantial model for shows or scale meetups. The painted body and chrome metal fittings enhance realism, and a Futaba 4-channel transmitter is included. A 7.2V battery pack and charger are required separately to operate the truck.
For model truckers who want a ready-to-run example with convincing scale systems and finish, the Tamiya King Hauler is a solid choice that also makes a flexible platform for further detailing.
