The Knight Hauler can be equipped
with 4 different semi-trailers (available separately)
Tamiya
proposes 4 different semi-trailers that can be adapted to the Knight
Hauler: A boxcar semi-trailer, a tank-trailer, a flatbed semi-trailer and
a pole-trailer. When coupled with the Knight Hauler, you obtain a 1m long
realistic truck. When using the multi function unit, which contains an
electronic speed controller, you can run your truck very slowly. With
sound and light effects, you will swear this is an actual truck.
This video shows how realistic the
engine sound and the vibration effect of the Multi-Function Control Unit
are.
