Tamiya 56301 King Hauler Classic 1/14 Scale Truck Kit  [56301]

Authentic Scale Trucking in 1/14 Form

The Tamiya King Hauler 56301 recreates the feel of a full-size tractor in compact scale, offering a detailed kit that appeals to modellers who enjoy realistic truck builds. The tractor is fully featured on its own, while trailers are available separately for expanded scenes and runs.

Chassis and Gearbox Overview

Built on an aluminum ladder chassis, the kit includes a 3-speed gearbox to simulate real truck ratios. The gearbox provides 10.6:1, 17.7:1 and 32.4:1 options so you can tune the truck for different speeds and load-like behaviour.

Realistic Suspension and Drive

To capture truck motion, the King Hauler uses solid axles with metal leaf springs and coil spring dampers. Drive is transmitted by propeller shafts to the rear axles, powering both axles for the appropriate scaled traction.

Detailing and Long-Term Use

Scale touches include chrome-plated fittings, grab rails and dual exhausts that lift the model visually. Oilite bearings and metal components contribute to reliability during club runs and display use.

The Tamiya King Hauler 56301 is a solid pick for scale truck enthusiasts who value accurate mechanics and authentic appearance in a 1/14 package.
