Authentic Dump Bed Operation from the Tamiya 56545 Actuator

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.

ACU-01 Mechanism and Geared Drive

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.

Protection Features and Channel Notes

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.

Recommended for Scale Model Enthusiasts

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.

Specifications

  • Compatibility: Suited to Tamiya 1/14 scale R/C dump trucks
  • Motor: Type 280 geared motor with a 64:1 reduction
  • Control Unit: ACU-01 actuator controller module
  • Recommended Radio: Tamiya 4ch Attack 2.4GHz recommended
  • Limit Switches: Fitted to prevent over extension

Tamiya 56545 is a sensible upgrade for anyone wanting improved tipping realism and dependable performance on 1/14 scale tippers.

as usual a very fast and efficient company to deal with.
Standard R/C wiring practices apply. The actuator hooks into your receiver channel and can be used with typical ESC and battery arrangements. Ensure secure connectors and tidy routing to avoid interference with moving parts.
As long as the receiver supports a 4-channel setup and you can assign a channel for actuator control, the unit will function. Using a modern 2.4GHz 4ch radio like the Tamiya 4ch Attack 2.4GHz is recommended for reliable performance.
Check travel endpoints and linkage alignment so the limit switches trigger correctly. Also verify that the actuator is not mechanically obstructed and that channel assignment does not clash with Motorized Support Legs (Item 56505).
Tipping speed can be influenced by transmitter endpoint settings, transmitter curves where available, and linkage geometry. Fine tuning these elements lets you match the motion to your preferred scale speed.
