The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 56357 offers a faithful 1/14 scale representation for modellers who value mechanical authenticity. Its combination of detailed bodywork and functional components appeals to both display collectors and trail drivers.
Attention to the truck bed, cab detailing and exterior fixtures makes this kit stand out. Use the optional Actuator Set (Item 56545) to add remote tipping action that integrates with your radio controls.
A ladder frame chassis pairs aluminum side channels with resin cross members to balance lightness and strength. Metal leaf springs and friction dampers provide the suspension characteristics expected in a scale truck, with rear differentials aiding cornering stability.
The model features a front-mounted motor coupled to a 3-speed transmission for realistic gear feel. Two driven rear axles deliver the required torque. To enable lighting and sound, fit a 4-channel R/C system and a multi-function unit, both sold separately.
With accurate modelling and a rugged framework, the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 56357 is well suited to hobbyists who want a realistic tipper truck to display and run.
