Unveiling the Tamiya 56316 Knight Hauler: A Metallic Marvel

The Tamiya 56316 Knight Hauler Metallic Special is not just another tractor truck; it's a statement piece in the world of RC models. This 1/14 scale truck stands out with its fully metal-plated body, offering an eye-catching shine that can be further personalized with Tamiya's range of clear spray colors. Since its debut in 2003, the Knight Hauler has been a favorite among hobbyists for its robust design and detailed craftsmanship.

The Legacy of the Knight Hauler

Since its inception, the Knight Hauler has maintained its position as one of Tamiya's best-selling tractor trucks. Its enduring popularity is attributed to its ladder-type chassis, which provides a stable platform for its rigid axle front and rear suspension. The model's RS540 motor ensures reliable performance, while the intricately designed truck body, complete with large roof spoilers and a detailed interior, delivers an authentic look. The transparent orange lights add a touch of realism, making this truck a standout on any track.

Enhanced Features for the Discerning Hobbyist

This metallic special edition replaces the standard body, roof spoiler, and side panels with metal-plated parts, elevating its aesthetic appeal. While the exterior shines brightly, the internal mechanics remain consistent with the standard kit, ensuring compatibility with the Tractor Truck Multi-Function Control Unit (56511). This allows for added functionality, such as realistic sound effects and lighting controls, enhancing the driving experience.
