Overview of the Tamiya Knight Hauler 56314
For model builders who value fine detailing and mechanical authenticity, the Tamiya Knight Hauler 56314 delivers a highly detailed 1/14 scale tractor truck that combines accurate styling with practical engineering. This kit recreates the look and feel of long-haul rigs while giving hobbyists scope to personalise components and electronics.
Scale bodywork and metal-finish details
The cab and hood are modelled with a distinctive roof spoiler and a well-appointed interior, while clear orange lens parts add realistic lamp colour. Metal-plated trim pieces including the grille, fuel tank, exhaust and steps boost visual fidelity. The kit comes with a robust RS540 style 540 motor and decal sheet, while the 7.2V battery pack and radio gear must be purchased separately so builders can pick their preferred setup.
Optional MFC-01 for authentic sound control
The optional Multi-Function Control Unit MFC-01 brings the model to life with recorded truck sounds. The unit stores 24 digital sound clips covering engine notes and air system effects, and installs conveniently in the left toolbox for tidy access and wiring.
Detailed lighting plus multi-channel sound effects
The lighting harness uses 20 high-brightness LEDs to reproduce headlights, fog lamps, roof lights and marker lamps, all operable from your transmitter. The audio selection includes start-up, idle and other engine-related effects to deepen the realism while running at the field or on display.
Multiple trailer setups for varied display options
This tractor is compatible with four trailer types: boxcar, tank, flatbed and pole trailers, giving a range of cargo and appearance choices. When combined with a long trailer the full model can extend to around one metre, making it an impressive showpiece for layouts or club meets.
