Tamiya 56340 1/14 Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Truck Assembly Kit  [56340]

Tamiya 56340: A Faithful 1/14 Scale Freightliner Replica

The Tamiya 56340 presents the Freightliner Cascadia Evolution in 1/14 scale, combining accurate exterior styling with a practical buildable chassis. The kit is ideal for those pursuing authenticity in scale truck modelling.

Accurate Aero Shape and Interior Reproduction

Tamiya reproduced the Cascadia Evolution's aerodynamic silhouette with attention to prototype detail, aided by Freightliner/Daimler references. The interior includes molded dashboard and seating elements, and metal-plated parts add realistic highlights across the bodywork.

Durable Frame and Three-Speed Transmission

The ladder frame chassis uses aluminum side channels and resin cross members to achieve a balance of strength and authenticity. A 3-speed transmission is fitted into the driveline and the truck can connect to compatible 1/14 semi-trailers via the included coupler.

Realistic Leaf Spring Setup and Drivetrain Layout

Leaf springs combined with friction dampers recreate a scale suspension response, while a die-cast float-mounted front axle and strengthened rear axle improve handling. Drive comes from a front-mounted 540-brushed motor through prop shafts, with differential gears aiding cornering behaviour.

The Tamiya 56340 Freightliner Cascadia Evolution is a dependable choice for modellers seeking a realistic truck platform that supports detailing and mechanical upgrades.
