Scale Accuracy with Practical Performance

The Tamiya 57072 recreates the Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348 in compact 1/14 form, balancing authentic styling with parts that withstand regular use. The tipper layout and cab proportions are faithful to the prototype while remaining user friendly for builders.

Drivetrain and Suspension Details

Equipped with a 6x4 drivetrain, the Tamiya 57072 delivers improved traction for hauling and slope work. Metal leaf springs paired with friction dampers give the chassis a realistic response to weight shifts and terrain changes during scale running.

What Makes This Kit Stand Out

This kit is attractive to hobbyists who want a solid base for upgrades and scale accessories. The detailed polycarbonate body reproduces key Mercedes-Benz cues and fits a chassis designed for straightforward assembly and modification.

Tuning Tips for Better Handling

Adjust spring preload and check damper action to fine tune how the Tamiya 57072 reacts under load. Upgrading to higher torque servos and a responsive ESC will noticeably improve control on steeper or looser surfaces.

Tamiya 57072 is a dependable platform for those wanting an authentic looking tipper with scope for performance or scale upgrades.

No, it is a kit that requires assembly and separate purchase of radio gear, motor, ESC and power source before it can run.
Medium tread, scale-style tyres provide a good balance between grip and visual realism for construction site runs and mixed surfaces.
Yes, within reason; the chassis and suspension cope with light scale loads, but avoid overloading to prevent wear on gears or axles.
Tamiya parts are widely available and common replacement items like suspension or body mounts can be sourced from hobby stores or online retailers.
