Tamiya 56344 1/14 Grand Hauler Classic Tractor Truck Kit  [56344]

Tamiya 56344 Grand Hauler - Scale Power and Detail

The Tamiya Grand Hauler 56344 captures the character of vintage long-haul rigs in 1/14 scale, delivering a hands-on assembly project that rewards builders who value authentic styling and mechanical detail.

Detailed Styling and Trailer Compatibility

The model shows off an extended, box-style bonnet and a body sculpted to echo customised tractor trucks. Its ladder frame chassis includes aluminium side channels for strength, and the built-in coupler lets you attach any Tamiya 1/14 scale trailer for realistic combinations.

On-Road Drive and Three-Speed Operation

Highlighted by a three-speed transmission that can be shifted with a 4-channel transmitter, the Grand Hauler provides staged gear changes for scale-like driving. The live axle differential and propeller shaft transfer power from the front-mounted motor to the rear axles for smooth power delivery.

Leaf Springs and Robust Running Gear

Setup for on-road use, the truck uses metal leaf springs and friction dampers that balance stiffness and compliance. Float-mounted die-cast front axles and reinforced resin rear axles add to the model's durability and stable behaviour on paved surfaces.

For hobbyists who enjoy scale accuracy and hands-on builds, the Tamiya Grand Hauler 56344 is a satisfying project that blends detailed appearance with mechanical depth.
