Win a Tamiya King Hauler radio-controlled truck kit worth £475!

Trucking has once again teamed up with The Hobby Company and Japanese model-maker Tamiya to give away an awesome 1:14-scale King Hauler radio-controlled truck kit to one lucky reader.

The prize bundle includes model kit, radio, battery and charger worth a total of £475!

The Mighty King Hauler resembles the classic conventional American tractor truck. It’s powered by a 540 motor driven with a three-speed transmission, which has no problem turning the dual rear axles. Each axle is supported with leaf spring and shocks. And the metal C-channel ladder frame keeps the power to the pavement.

To further enhance the vehicle, Tamiya Multi-Function Control Units (sold separately) offer light, sound and vibration operation raise realism to the next level. Engine sounds have been digitally recorded from actual trucks, and together with air horn, gear shifting, and many other realistic sounds, give you the feeling you are driving the real thing!

Headlights, brake lights, fog lamp, hazard lights and turn signal operations are also at your fingertips.
