The Tamiya 56545 Actuator Set is intended to replicate genuine tipping action on the Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348 Dump Truck and compatible 1/14 scale tippers. It focuses on consistent, controllable movement to improve scale realism during runs and displays.
The ACU-01 control unit incorporates a geared Type 280 motor with a 64:1 ratio to provide steady lifting and lowering of the dump bed. It is designed for use with a 4-channel transmitter such as Tamiya's 4ch Attack 2.4GHz for straightforward operation.
Limit switches stop the actuator at safe endpoints to avoid damage from over travel. Keep in mind the unit shares an R/C channel with the Motorized Support Legs (Item 56505) so both cannot be active together. The actuator is otherwise compatible with common ESC setups and Tamiya MFC-01 and MFC-03 units.
Whether upgrading a display model or adding function to a working build, this actuator set adds convincing dump truck behaviour to Tamiya 1/14 scale models while remaining straightforward to integrate.
Tamiya 56545 is a sensible upgrade for anyone wanting improved tipping realism and dependable performance on 1/14 scale tippers.
