The Tamiya 56357-56545 Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348 6x4 RC Tipper Truck Kit delivers a faithful 1/14 recreation of the commercial Arocs, built for hobbyists who value mechanical accuracy and serviceable components. The model mirrors the heavy-duty stance and functional layout of the full-size truck while remaining approachable for experienced builders.
Mounted on an aluminum ladder frame, the truck uses metal leaf springs and friction dampers for a weighty, realistic feel. A front-mounted motor drives a 3-speed gearbox and sends torque to the twin rear axles, each fitted with differentials for predictable cornering and traction on varied surfaces.
Using a 4-channel R/C transmitter and Tamiya multi-function units unlocks lighting, sound, and vibration options to deepen the driving experience. The separately available Electric Actuator Set (Item 56545) enables radio control of the dump bed, adding practical movement that matches the prototype.
The ACU-01 actuator provides a compact geared motor with built-in limit switches for safe and precise bed motion. It works with common ESCs and Tamiya control modules, letting you integrate tipping action without heavy modification.
For collectors and modelers who prefer accurate mechanical layouts and serviceable parts, this Tamiya kit offers rewarding assembly and operation. The combination of a scale chassis and optional actuator makes it a solid choice for detailed RC truck projects.
