Default You can stop building trucks now, Tamiya Grand Hauler.

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

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?

Cropped for you Brian.

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

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

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

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?

I like it!

I'll be getting a couple of kits when they become available in Borgfeldt's inventory.
