Tamiya 56308 King Hauler Metallic Special Edition Scale Model Truck Kit  [56308]

Classic Tractor Truck Replica From Tamiya 56308 King Hauler

Scale truck modellers will recognise the craftsmanship in the Tamiya 56308 King Hauler Metallic Special Edition, a kit that pairs authentic styling with practical engineering. The model captures the lines of traditional tractor trucks and features an aluminium ladder chassis together with a durable 3-speed gearbox.

Scale Size and Suspension Details

At 1/14 scale the King Hauler has strong road presence, measuring 23.62 inches overall with a 17.60 inch wheelbase to reflect real-world proportions. It uses solid axles, leaf springs and metal friction dampers to recreate the realistic suspension behavior of heavy haulage vehicles.

Practical Gear Ratios and Control Advice

The three-speed gearbox offers ratios of 10.6:1, 17.7:1 and 32.4:1 so you can set the truck up for pulling power or smoother running. While the basics can be run on a 2-channel radio, a 4-channel set up is preferable for additional steering or accessory functions.

The Tamiya 56308 King Hauler Metallic Special Edition is ideal for modellers who want a detailed kit with authentic mechanical features. It suits both display collectors and those who like to run realistic scale trucks.
