Authentic Scale Truck Modelling with Tamiya 56366-56545 Mercedes-Benz Arocs 4151

The Tamiya 56366-56545 recreates the Mercedes-Benz Arocs 4151 in 1/14 scale, offering a faithful blend of scale appearance and mechanical detail. The kit is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy careful builds and realistic truck behaviour.

Frame Design and Suspension Details

The model uses a ladder-frame style chassis with aluminium side channels and resin cross members to represent real truck strength. Metal leaf springs and friction dampers replicate suspension movement for controlled, lifelike responses on rough ground.

Scale Cab and Drive Configuration

Injection-moulded bodywork shows fine features such as cab rails and intake ducts, with separate items for mirrors and visors for accurate finishing. A TR mighty-tuned 540 brushed motor drives the twin rear axles, while a single servo handles steering for both front axles.

Adding Remote Functions

Add the separately sold Actuator Set (Item 56545) to motorise the truck bed and control tipping via a 4-channel transmitter. Installing an MFC multi-function unit enables realistic lighting and sound sequences for shows and displays.

The Tamiya 56366-56545 Mercedes-Benz Arocs 4151 is aimed at enthusiasts who value authentic detailing and functional scale systems. It makes a rewarding project for those with some modelling experience.
