Source: tamiya.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by towerhobbies.com. The official Tamiya product page (Item No. 56344, "1/14 R/C Grand Hauler") confirms model identity as a 1/14-scale, ladder-frame R/C tractor-truck assembly kit powered by a Type 540 motor with rear 2-axle drive, and states that the transmitter, battery pack, and charger are included only for the Japan-market Item 56343 — so the international 56344 ships with no drive battery (batteryIncluded=false). The Tower Hobbies page for the exact same part number (TAM56344, "1/14 Grand Hauler 10X8 Semi Tractor Kit") corroborates the model and lists its US price verbatim at $361.90, explicitly tagging it "2WD," "Brushed," a builder "Kit," with a 7.2V-7.4V battery, ESC, radio and servos under "Needed to Complete." AMain Hobbies (also TAM56344) independently corroborated "Scale: 1/14," "Drive Type: 2WD," and "Motor: 540-brushed type." Length (692mm) and weight (approx. 3.9kg) are published by Tamiya only in mm/kg, so lengthInches and weightGrams are left null rather than converted; no top speed or motor Kv is published (it is a brushed-motor scale kit).
