Tamiya 56309 Ford Aeromax 1/14 Scale Replica Truck Kit  [56309]

Authentic Long Nose Truck Replica: Tamiya Ford Aeromax 56309

Model builders seeking a true-to-prototype long-nose tractor will appreciate the Tamiya Ford Aeromax 56309. This 1/14 scale kit recreates the cab profile and mechanical layout of the original truck while offering a satisfying build process and realistic road presence.

Exterior Craftsmanship and Running Gear

The Aeromax features a length of 614mm and a 190mm width, with front and rear tread measurements of 156mm and 138mm. Its semi-pneumatic tyres and plated wheels give an authentic scale stance, and the 2900g weight helps the model sit and roll like a proper tractor unit.

Transmission and Suspension Details

Power is managed through a servo controlled consistent mesh 3-speed gearbox paired with a rear double-axle drive for traction and balance. Coil spring dampers and leaf springs provide suspension compliance suitable for road-based scale runs.

Frame Layout and Required Parts

The model uses a channeled ladder type frame suitable for upgrades and attachments. The kit comes with a 540 motor and requires separate items including a 7.2V battery, charger, electronic speed controller and 4-channel radio, plus TS plastic model paint for finishing touches.

Tamiya Ford Aeromax 56309 is a capable base for scale detailing and mechanical tuning, suited to hobbyists who enjoy painting, customisation and realistic driving behaviour.
