The Tamiya 56340 models the Freightliner Cascadia Evolution at 1/14 scale, offering a careful reproduction of the truck's streamlined silhouette. This assembly kit focuses on faithful proportions and cabin detail for hobbyists who value scale appearance.
Tamiya worked with Freightliner/Daimler references to reproduce the aerodynamic body profile and cabin features. The kit includes interior elements such as the dashboard and seats, and finishes are enhanced by a combination of gloss and matte metal-plated parts for a realistic look.
The chassis uses an aluminum-sided ladder frame with resin cross members to balance strength with accurate layout. A 3-speed gearbox is integrated into the driveline, and a standard trailer coupler makes the model compatible with Tamiya semi-trailers for realistic towing setups.
Leaf springs and friction dampers recreate the suspension behaviour, while a die-cast front axle and reinforced rear axle add stability. A front-mounted 540-brushed motor transmits torque to the rear axles via prop shafts, and differential gears help maintain smooth turns.
The Tamiya 56340 Freightliner Cascadia Evolution is suited to builders who want an authentic scale tractor with solid mechanics and options for detailing.
