In order to accurately capture even the smallest details of the full size rigs, Tamiya uses ABS plastic for the body and accessories. You will notice that some of Tamiya’s tractor trucks use two rear axles referred to as 6×4 while others have just one axle which is 4×2. From the tranny a propeller shaft transmits the power to two rear axles fitted with gear differentials to enable smooth cornering.

Shift on the fly gear changes can be made remotely with use of a 4-channel radio system. Power to drive the tractor is derived from a front mounted 540 brushed motor attached to a three-speed transmission. Like full-scale big rigs, the ladder frame is equipped with a highly realistic suspension complete with metal leaf springs and friction dampers. At its core is a ladder frame chassis with aluminum side channels and resin cross members. Its chassis design became the platform for the numerous trucks that followed the King Hauler.

At 1/14-scale, the Tamiya tractor trucks are quite large measuring nearly four feet long with a tractor trailer attached. Tractor trucks and trailers, especially the ones offered by Tamiya, are built to be ultra-realistic, full-functioning representations of the full size trucks. Typically people think that RC vehicles are all high-performance machines however these tractor trucks contradict that notion yet are quite extraordinary.
