Product Description:
Tamiya 1/14 Grand Hauler Black Edition Kit
Factory Painted Metallic Black Special Version
requires assembly and all electronics
Overview
The Tamiya Grand Hauler Black Edition is a premium special version designed for enthusiasts who want a professional custom look right out of the box. The body parts are molded in black, pre-painted in Metallic Black (Tamiya TS-40), and finished with a matte urethane top coat, creating a sleek satin appearance inspired by today’s custom show trucks.
Realistic Chrome Details
High-quality metal-plated components add authentic chrome shine throughout. These include bumpers, radiator grille, roof-mounted horns, light bezels, side and curb mirrors, air cleaners, mufflers, and more — capturing the powerful and polished look of a real North American hauler.
Lights and Sounds Ready
Compatible with the optional Tamiya Multi-Function Control Unit (MFC-01) (sold separately). This upgrade adds LED headlights, taillights, turn signals, engine sounds, horn effects, and vibration feedback, bringing your model to life with incredible realism.
Drivetrain and Transmission
A front-mounted motor powers twin rear axles through a 3-speed transmission, allowing smooth gear changes and scale-accurate performance. The gearbox can be shifted using a 4-channel R/C transmitter (recommended: Tamiya Attack 2.4GHz Radio System, Item 7255252). Built-in differentials provide stable cornering and consistent handling.
Durable Chassis and Suspension
The ladder-frame chassis features aluminum side channels with resin cross members for strength and rigidity. The metal leaf spring suspension with built-in coil dampers reproduces the ride and flexibility of a full-size semi-truck, ensuring both durability and realism.
Trailer-Ready Design
A functional trailer coupler is included, allowing easy connection with any Tamiya 1/14 scale trailer. Pair it with a matching trailer to create a complete tractor-trailer combination for display or operation.
