For scale modelling fans who enjoy mechanical detail, the Tamiya 56308 King Hauler Metallic Special Edition delivers fine scale styling with robust engineering. The kit recreates the look of classic tractor units and includes an aluminium ladder chassis plus a solid three-speed gearbox for realistic shifting and drive feel.
At true 1/14 scale the model commands attention, measuring 23.62 inches long with a 17.60 inch wheelbase to capture real truck stance. The solid axle setup coupled with leaf springs and metal friction dampers replicates the suspension behaviour you expect from scale rigs.
The three-speed gearbox gives ratios of 10.6:1, 17.7:1 and 32.4:1 so you can select low gearing for scale towing or higher ratios for smoother road runs. A basic 2-channel radio will operate the essentials, but a 4-channel transmitter is advised if you plan to add extra steering or accessories.
The Tamiya 56308 King Hauler Metallic Special Edition suits builders who enjoy a detailed kit and want authentic truck mechanics. It performs well as a display model and can be set up for realistic running sessions.
