RC semi trucks bring full-size trucking home in authentic 1/14 scale, with detailed cabs and real towing capability. Most models are kit builds, so you'll supply your own motor, ESC, servo, radio and battery, though a ready-to-run option is also available if you'd rather skip the build. Shop cab styles from Tamiya, Team Associated and KABOLITE, then add a matching trailer to complete the rig.
FAQs for RC Semi Trucks & Trailers | Hobbies Direct
Do they come with trailers?
Some do, some don't — check the listing. Tamiya 1/14 semi trucks are usually cab-only, with trailers sold separately. Other brands may bundle them. A trailer adds a lot to the experience but also adds to the cost.
How big are 1/14 scale semi trucks?
About 50-60cm for the cab, and up to a metre+ with a trailer. They're big, detailed models that look great on display and even better rolling down the driveway. You'll need space to drive and store them.
Are Tamiya semi trucks hard to build?
They're kit builds, so expect 20-40 hours of assembly. Tamiya's instructions are excellent and the build is satisfying. You'll need your own electronics (motor, ESC, servo, radio, battery). The build is half the fun.
