Miniature engineering on display with the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 56357

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.

Detailed exterior and optional moveable tipper

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.

Chassis construction and suspension tuning

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.

Drive train and control possibilities

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.

The kit offers many scale parts and moving components, so it is best suited to builders with some kit experience. Newcomers can still build it with careful reading and basic modelling tools.
You will need a 4-channel radio, ESC, battery pack, receiver and servos. A multi-function unit is optional for lights and sound and is sold separately.
The built-in differentials help the rear axles turn smoothly and reduce tyre scrub in corners, improving stability over uneven surfaces while keeping realistic drive characteristics.
