THIS ISN'T JUST AN RC TRUCK. 🚛

For some people, building a Tamiya 1/14 truck is as much about the build as it is about driving.

The detail.

The engineering.

The lights.

The sounds.

The trailers.

And eventually seeing the finished truck rolling under its own power.

At Cleveland Models, we cater for the whole Tamiya truck experience, from kits and pre-built trucks to MFC systems, trailers, radio gear and accessories.

And if you love the idea of owning a Tamiya truck but don't fancy spending weeks building one yourself, our pre-built and painted truck combos are a fantastic way to get started.

We've even got models such as the Tamiya Scania R620 Highline 1/14 combo, supplied pre-built and ready to run.

🚛 Build it. Personalise it. Drive it.

That's what makes Tamiya trucks so addictive.

Which Tamiya truck would be on your wish list?

17/08/2026

Right, let's settle this once and for all... 😂

You've just been handed £500 to spend at Cleveland Models.

But there's a catch.

You can only choose ONE:

🔥 A — The Basher
Something fast, powerful and built to be thrown around.

🔧 B — The Builder
A Tamiya kit with some serious upgrades. Hours of building and customising.

🚛 C — The Trucker
A Tamiya 1/14 truck with lights, sound and all the scale realism.

What are you taking home?

👇 Comment A, B or C and tell us why.

And no cheating by saying "I'll take all three"... 😂

SMALLER KRATON. BIGGER ATTITUDE. 😈🔥

Meet the ARRMA MINI KRATON 3S BLX 4X4.

Don't let the 1/16 scale fool you.

This little monster packs:

🔥 50+ MPH potential
⚡ 3S brushless power
🎯 4 selectable DSC modes
💥 PowerGuard technology
🏁 4WD performance
🔋 3S LiPo battery INCLUDED
🔌 USB-C charger INCLUDED

Even better, PowerGuard gives you a more manageable 3S driving mode with extended runtime before you're ready to unlock the full-power experience with the PowerKey.

And because it's smaller, it's an incredibly appealing option for anyone who wants serious ARRMA performance without stepping up to a full-size 1/8 model.

👉 See the MINI KRATON at Cleveland Models: https://www.clevelandmodels.co.uk/product/c-ara2508st1-arrma-1-16-mini-kraton-3s-battery-and-charger-included-blue/

Would you choose MINI KRATON or full-size KRATON? 👇

Your Tamiya truck doesn't have to just LOOK the part... 🔊🚛

The GT Power Pro MFC System adds another level of realism to your Tamiya truck, combining:

🔊 Engine and vehicle sounds
💡 Realistic lighting effects
📳 Vibration
📱 Bluetooth control
🚛 Trailer lighting compatibility

And this isn't just about making your truck louder.

The system is designed to bring the whole model to life, making those slow, realistic Tamiya truck drives even more immersive.

Cleveland Models stocks GT Power MFC systems for Tamiya 1/14 trucks, including US and European sound versions, plus compatible trailer lighting systems.
