Product Description:

Build a highly detailed American-style big rig with the Tamiya 56314 Knight Hauler 1/14 Scale RC Tractor Truck Kit.

The Knight Hauler features an original custom semi-truck design inspired by the full-size tractor trucks commonly seen traveling across North America. Its long hood, aerodynamic sleeper cab, large roof spoiler and extensive metal-plated details give the truck an impressive custom appearance.

The durable ladder-frame chassis is constructed from aluminum side channels and reinforced cross members. A front-mounted 540-type brushed motor transfers power through a functional three-speed transmission to both rear axles.

Gear changes can be operated remotely using the required radio system and transmission-shift servo. Three-bevel differential gears in the driven rear axles provide smooth cornering, while the metal leaf-spring suspension creates realistic movement and handling.

The molded ABS body requires painting, allowing the builder to create a personalized color scheme.
