Polished Metal Look for the Tamiya 56315 Knight Hauler Metallic Special

The Tamiya 56315 - 1/14 Knight Hauler Metallic Special brings a metal-plated exterior to the classic Knight Hauler, giving hobbyists a realistic scale truck with a detailed cabin and durable build. This model sits well in any RC garage or display shelf thanks to its authentic styling and strong construction.

Metal Finish and Sturdy Ladder Chassis

The standout feature is the metal-plated bodywork which replaces standard plastic panels, improving the truck's presence and adding toughness. The original ladder-type chassis remains, providing a stable platform while the rigid axle front and rear suspension keep handling predictable over different surfaces.

Motor, Electronics and Compatibility

Powered by the RS540 motor, this kit supplies steady propulsion suitable for scale driving and club events. It also accepts Tamiya's Tractor Truck Multi-Function Control Unit (56511) for added lighting and engine sound options if you want to expand electronics later.

Who Will Appreciate This Edition

Collectors and builders who value authentic detail and a heavier metal finish will enjoy assembling and running this special. The transparent orange lights and well-detailed interior lift the realism, making it a rewarding project for those who like scale accuracy.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/14
  • Body: Metal-plated
  • Motor: RS540
  • Suspension: Rigid axle front and rear
  • Compatibility: Tractor Truck Multi-Function Control Unit (56511)

The Tamiya 56315 Knight Hauler Metallic Special is a strong choice for RC fans who want a realistic, metal-finished tractor truck that is both display ready and capable on the road.

The kit has a detailed assembly but follows clear instructions, so an intermediate modeller can finish it over a few weekend sessions.
The chassis accepts typical RS540-class setups; upgrading the motor or ESC is possible but check fitment and gearing to maintain scale drivability.
Spares for Tamiya kits are usually available through parts suppliers; confirm the exact part numbers when ordering replacements.
The metal plating adds some weight but it mainly improves durability; handling remains consistent thanks to the ladder chassis and rigid axles.
