Tamiya 1/14 Ford Aeromax 6×4 Electric Semi Truck Kit
Overview
Iconic American Long‑Haul Style in a Detailed 1/14 Scale RC Truck Kit
The Tamiya Ford Aeromax 6×4 is a highly detailed 1/14 scale electric RC semi‑truck assembly kit, recreating one of the most recognizable American highway tractors ever built. Known for its long nose, aerodynamic bodywork, and classic sleeper cab design, the Aeromax is faithfully reproduced with exceptional scale accuracy and realistic driving characteristics.
Built on Tamiya’s proven 1/14 tractor platform, this kit delivers an authentic RC trucking experience with smooth on‑road handling and extensive upgrade potential for lighting, sound, and drivetrain realism.
About the Ford Aeromax
Body & Wheels
The Ford Aeromax features a multi‑piece hard plastic body that accurately captures the truck’s long‑nose profile, sleeper cab, and aerodynamic styling. Chrome‑plated parts, detailed grille work, mirrors, exhaust stacks, and marker lights enhance realism, while scale‑correct wheels and rubber tires complete the authentic road‑truck appearance.
The body components are supplied unpainted, allowing builders to create a fully custom finish.
Chassis, Suspension & Drivetrain
The Aeromax is built on Tamiya’s ladder‑frame semi‑truck chassis, constructed from aluminum side rails with cross members for strength and scale realism. A rear‑wheel‑drive 6×4 drivetrain powers the dual rear axles, providing smooth traction and realistic road manners.
The truck uses a 3‑speed transmission, allowing low‑speed maneuvering and higher‑speed cruising, while leaf‑spring suspension at the front and rear mirrors the behavior of a full‑scale semi truck. This setup delivers a true scale driving experience rather than high‑speed performance.
Electronics
This kit is supplied as a traditional assembly kit, allowing builders to choose their preferred electronics. The chassis is designed to accept a standard electric motor, electronic speed control, steering servo, and radio system. The platform is also compatible with optional Tamiya Multi‑Function Control Units for added realism such as sound, lights, and vibration.
