The Tiger, aka the Panzerkampfwagen is one of the most formidable weapons of World War II. Produced by Germany, production of the Tiger ran from 1942 to 1944. The Tiger was a very heavy tank and what it lost in mobility was more than made up by the superior firepower and armor protection it provided. Tamiya spared no detail on their reproduction, called the Tamiya King Tiger. The King Tiger tank has a full range of motion and you can even raise the turret up and down. The firing of the cannon is so powerful it even causes the tank to recoil! To add to the authenticity of the model, Tamiya tracked down the only real-life working model in the world, currently housed at a museum and recorded the engine sounds which were added to the Tamiya King Tiger.
Features of the Tamiya King Tiger
- Turret has a full 360 degree range of motion, and the turret can be raised up or down
- Tank can move forward, backward, left, right and even pivot in place like real tanks
- Realisitic sound reproduction from an actual real-life German Tiger tank, with a built in adjustable volume speaker
- Main gun fires, with flash!
- Cannon roars and tank recoils whenever gun is fired
- One of the most upgradeable rc tanks on the market due to the range of aftermarket kits and options

Feast your eyes on one of the most realistic R/C models ever made of an American long-nosed truck, or any other kind of truck for that matter. The Tamiya Knight Hauler is a 1/14 scale item with a number of features painstakingly rendered as realistically as possible. The hood, large roof spoiler, interior, lights, grille, tank, exhaust and steps are all made from metal plated parts.
The Tamiya Knight Hauler comes with a separately sold multi-function control unit which provides sound and action features for the truck. The 4 channel transmitter controls features such as:
- forward/backward, turning movements
- honking the horn
- operating the motorized support legs
- headlights
- position lamps / roof lamps
- speed indicators
- tail lights
- hazard lights, blinkers
If that’s not enough to excite you, you can further customize your Tamiya Knight Hauler by adding any one of 4 separate semi-trailers: a pole trailer, a flatbed semi, a tanker trailer and a boxcar semi-trailer. Either one of these options added to the Tamiya Hauler gives you a meter long trailer!
In summary, here are the main additional optional accessories you will need to purchase in order to build the ultimate R/C trailer.
- Tamiya Multi-function Control Unit
- Tamiya Motorized Support Legs

The Tamiya Hilux highlift is one of the most popular trucks of all time. This fact wasn’t lost on Tamiya as they developed the Tamiya Hilux featuring a Toyota pickup body mounted on the same chassis as the Ford F350 high-lift. Like the Tamiya Sand Scorcher, the Tamiya Hilux is one of the most realistic rc reproductions ever. A 3-speed transmission allows you to drive the hilux at extremely low speeds and there are also a lot of metal parts involved which means the Tamiya Hilux are very durable models. The large tires give the Hilux High-lift a lot of ground clearance and Tamiya even threw in surfboards replicas to make the Toyota Hilux even more realistic!

Tamiya Sand Scorcher

The Tamiya Sand Scorcher, is a highly sought after vintage off-road vehicle. Originally released in 1979, it’s not uncommon to find unused models selling for over a thousand dollars. RC cars developed on the Sand Scorcher platform were made mostly of metal, which although making it a bit heavier than other rc models meant these models are more durable than rc cars made from plastic. Also unique to the Tamiya Sand Scorcher is the fact that most of the onboard electronics are enclosed in a waterproof housing, which means you can drive the Sand Scorcher through water!!!! The body of most Sand Scorchers are highly detailed replicas of the Volkswagen Baja Beetle. You also have the Monster Beetle and the Blitzer Beetle. The Tamiya Sand Scorcher won’t win you any points for speed, but the durability and the fact that you can run this rc car through water without damage make this one of the most desirable rc cars on the market.
