Scale craftsmanship and realism in the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 56357

For hobbyists seeking true-to-life scale detail, the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 56357 delivers precise modelling and mechanical fidelity. This 1/14 scale tipper reproduces the look and working elements of the full-size truck, appealing to both display builders and active RC drivers.

Faithful reproduction of exterior and functions

The model reflects Tamiya's focus on authentic form and function. The tipper body, cab features and external fittings are modelled with care. You can fit the optional Actuator Set (Item 56545) to operate the truck bed remotely via your radio gear.

Robust ladder frame and suspension layout

The chassis uses a ladder frame with aluminum side rails and resin cross members for strength. Metal leaf springs and friction dampers form the suspension, while rear differentials aid cornering and stability over mixed surfaces.

Powertrain layout and control options

A front-mounted motor drives a 3-speed transmission that gives a realistic driving feel. Twin rear axles supply traction for heavy loads. Add a 4-channel R/C system and a multi-function unit (sold separately) to enable lights, sounds and vibration effects.

The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 56357 combines detailed scale appearance with a sturdy chassis and realistic drivetrain, making it a fine choice for serious RC modellers.

This kit offers detailed parts and realistic mechanisms, so new builders should allow extra time and reference the instructions closely. Basic modelling tools and patience make the build manageable.
A 4-channel transmitter is needed to access steering, throttle and optional functions. A compatible ESC, servo(s) and a multi-function unit will unlock lights and sound if you want full realism.
The truck bed needs the optional Actuator Set (Item 56545) for remote operation. Without it the bed remains static, but the model still offers authentic static detail.
Enthusiasts often upgrade tyres for grip, fit stronger servos for steering, and choose a higher-capacity battery to improve run time and throttle response under load.
