Tamiya 1/14 Grand Hauler Scaled Tractor Truck Kit - Black
Whether you're a (real) truck driver or model enthusiast this build will be one to remember! The Grand Hauler from Tamiya is high detailed, scaled remote controlled 1/14 truck that you build up yourself and you get the joy of actually using it once you've finished!
This is a special edition of the Grand Hauler. The R/C model assembly kit recreates a massive boxy, customized truck like those seen in North America. The special edition version is a great option for those without the time or confidence to apply a paint job to their kit, as the body, and other key body parts are pre-painted Metallic black (Tamiya Color TS-40). Additionally, a matte coating is applied over the metallic black which provides a cool look as seen in current trends in the automotive scene.
The model's ladder frame chassis features aluminum side channels with resin cross members and is equipped with a highly realistic suspension utilizing metal leaf springs and friction dampers. A front-mounted motor and 3-speed transmission power the two rear wheel axles, which are fitted with built-in differentials to enable smooth cornering. A 4-channel R/C system and multi-function unit allow you to drive the vehicle and experience realistic lights, sounds and vibrations. (Both sold separately)
The included 3 speed gearbox allows you to shift on the fly!
- Low (forwards and backwards)
- Medium (forwards and backwards)
- High (forwards and backwards)
The must have multi function unit gives your Tamiya 1/14 semi truck some attitude by lighting it up with LED lights (which work with the operation of the vehicle for example, when the truck is turning left the left indicator flashes), adding realistic vibrations (idle and starting vibrations etc), and of course, the sounds!

Important: When you're choosing your remote controller for your Tamiya semi truck, you need to figure if you want to use a MFU (Multi Function Unit). Your choice is between an analog or digital trimmed 4ch radio.
If you plan on using your Tamiya semi without an MFU, you can use either analog or digital.
If you plan on using your Tamiya semi with an MFU, you can only use an analog remote controller like the Tamiya Attack 4YWD.
How can I tell if my remote has analog or digital trim?
- Analog remote trims slide from one end to the other
- Digital remote trims are switches and click in either direction (no sliding)
