Experience the Majesty of the Tamiya King Hauler
Tamiya's King Hauler 56301 is a tribute to the robust and majestic world of full-scale tractor trucks. This 1/14 scale masterpiece offers hobbyists a highly detailed and rewarding build, perfect for those who appreciate the intricacies of large-scale trucking. Though the semi-trailer is sold separately, the King Hauler stands out with its impressive features and authentic design.
Engineering Excellence: The Heart of the King Hauler
At the core of the Tamiya King Hauler is a ladder frame chassis made from durable aluminum, mimicking that of real-world trucks. A 3-speed gearbox allows for precision control, offering gear ratios of 10.6:1, 17.7:1, and 32.4:1. This range gives drivers the flexibility to adapt to different driving scenarios, from hauling to cruising.
Suspension and Drive: Built for Realism
The suspension system on the King Hauler is a nod to engineering authenticity, featuring solid axles supported by heavy-duty metal leaf springs and coil spring dampers. Propeller-shaft driven rear axles ensure both axles power the truck, providing a smooth yet commanding drive that closely resembles its full-scale counterpart.
Attention to Detail: Aesthetic and Functional Features
The King Hauler doesn't just perform well; it looks the part too. The model includes a suite of scale body accessories such as metal grab rails, dual exhausts, and chrome-plated parts. These elements are not just for show—they enhance the model's realism and provide an authentic trucking experience. The inclusion of Oilite bearings ensures durability, even under demanding conditions.
