Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348 6x4 Tipper SE RC Truck Kit 1/14 Scale - 56361

Tamiya's 1/14 scale Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348 6x4 Tipper Truck (TAM56361) is a detailed assembly kit that builds a radio-controlled heavy construction truck based on the real Mercedes-Benz Arocs series. This is not a ready-to-run model — it's a multi-part plastic and metal kit requiring full assembly, making it best suited to experienced modellers who enjoy the build process as much as the finished result. The Arocs 3348 is a 6x4 configuration tipper, meaning it features three axles with drive to the rear two, and a functioning tipper bed that can raise and lower when the model is complete. At 1/14 scale, the finished truck is a substantial model with impressive road presence and a level of mechanical detail that reflects Tamiya's reputation for engineering accuracy in their RC truck range.
