The Tamiya 56357-56545 Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348 6x4 RC Tipper Truck Kit reproduces the practical lines of the Arocs at 1/14 scale and is aimed at enthusiasts seeking faithful mechanics and realistic handling. The kit offers a solid starting point for detailing and electronics upgrades.
An aluminum ladder frame provides rigidity and scale appearance, while metal leaf springs and friction dampers recreate the feel of a loaded truck. The front-mounted motor drives a 3-speed transmission and feeds the rear axles through differential gears to maintain controllable steering and traction.
Fitting a 4-channel radio along with Tamiya multi-function modules gives comprehensive control of lights and audio effects. The optional Electric Actuator Set (Item 56545) adds remote tipping capability to the bed, improving realism for demonstrations and static displays.
The ACU-01 actuating unit features a geared motor and integrated limit switches to avoid overtravel. It is compatible with common ESCs and Tamiya controllers, allowing easy integration and reliable bed operation.
Collectors and builders who prize realistic mechanics will find this Tamiya kit rewarding to assemble and operate. Adding the actuator and multi-function electronics enhances both presentation and usability.
