You can stop building trucks now, Tamiya Grand Hauler.

[Berman]

At the Nuremberg Fair:

Your favourite truck with oversized smoke stacks, oversized bumper, oversized rails, huge visor, rear guards and rubbish turn radius. Your prayers have been answered

I don't get it. Where are the pics of the truck?

[Lil Giants]

It's kind of a "Where's Waldo" pics... I see it.

Is it really a soon to be released production model or a private guy's creation that works for Tamiya in the showcase?

[Berman]

Cropped for you Brian.

More pics will more than likely be available as the fair progresses.

[Brian in PA]

Got it thanks

Cheers, Neil.

Meet the latest addition to the 1/14 scale Tractor Trucks series! This model is based upon that Tamiya classic,
the King Hauler (Item 56301). The King Hauler body is given an overhaul with numerous newly-designed parts
inspired by the modern day trend of tractor truck customization. A number of metal and metal-plated resin parts
further add to the mood of the model. Its longer frame gives the model proportions reminiscent of show trucks.
About the Model
• This is a 1/14 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 692mm, width: 190mm, height: 300mm.
• The realistic, lengthened body features newly-designed parts depicting front and rear bumpers, front grille,
air cleaners and muffler covers. Muffler covers are made from metal tubing.
• Features a tough ladder frame construction with aluminum side channels and resin cross members. Realistic
drivetrain setup sees the front mounted motor powering twin rear axles.
• 3-speed transmission can be controlled via 4ch R/C transmitter.
• Metal leaf spring dampers with built-in coil springs provide durable suspension.
• Newly-designed 1/14 scale driver figure included.
• Coupler is included to enable connection with any currently available Tamiya 1/14 scale trailer.
• Compatible with the tractor truck option parts (TROP) Items 56511, 56512, 56513, 56515, 56524, 56526
and 56530. Pair with Multi-Function Control Unit MFC-01 (Item 56511) and MFC-03 (Item 56523) for
super-realistic LED lights and sounds.

Very interesting, but myself I would prefer to see another prototypical body rather than some bling added to the old KH. Still cool though.

All I can say is WOW!!!! Someone from Tamiya has been lurking around this forum!!! A lot of parts on that look like copies of some parts in the vendor section. I'm excited for dual square head lights and those turn signals!!!!! Here's is a video link that works. http://youtu.be/GwQiWaXH4yU

What you did not notice I uploaded the manual as well? LOL

[longhairRandy]

Obviously Tamiya has been paying attention to what Americans want on their rigs and good for the hobby.

[wolfws6]

Interesting that the assembly manual says to remove the rear fenders if using the motorized leg support option..... I guess the king pin assy. will not clear the rear fenders?
