- Tamiya Grand Hauler TAM56334 with MFC Part 4 - The First Drive of the Finished Truck
This final part of the build series of this amazing truck kit. This Grand Hauler and the MFC are completely as cool as they seem like they would be! We will take it out on its maiden run and see it in all of its glory. If you have never seen one of these trucks in person you are missing out!
I was recently gifted a supremely special gift of a Tamiya Grand Hauler with the Tamiya Multi-Function Control Unit (MFC) TAM56511 to go into it by The RC Elf. A Tamiya 1/14 scale semi-truck has been on my radar for many years now and now I am finally able to build one. If you have not, go back and watch the other 3 in the series and see how it all happened!
Thanks again to the RC Elf and let get into the video!

A Tamiya semi kit has been on my dream list since I was a kid. Someday I will build one. They just look awesome to build
It is a complete adventure. Trucks and buggies are fun but can be built in hours. These things take time and attention to detail. I absolutely loved building it and it was the longest build I have ever done but it felt like it went by in a flash!!! If you can use Tower Hobbies as they have great coupon codes that can save you a lot of money on one. They are expensive but there is a lot that is in there! The sad thing is the MFC is terribly expensive but you can build it with a HW1060 ESC and a cheap crawler.motor and still have a complete blast with it!!!
OMG, I can't wait to build mine..!!!
It is a really fun build and not as bad as many people fear. It is a typical.tamiya build just a lot more parts! Take your time on the paint job as it is 90% of the truck's appearance. Also make sure you have all the parts you need to paint before you start, I spent a lot of time having to wait for paint to cure on one silly part I missed and it slowed the whole project.down! You will have a great time both building and driving it!!!
Turned out awesome!
Thank you! It is a great looking truck and I can just sit there and stare at it! Makes me smile all the time!
Wow, I have never seen one of these moving! Super cool!
I wish the real life experience could be there through video. It is even cooler in person! Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!
Fancy paint ya got there pardner! Ace rig Addam
Thank you!! It was a lot of paint to get it that way!! It is amazing looking out in the sunlight. The whole thing simmers!!
Nice job, Addam; looks great!
Thank you! I really enjoyed building it and loved getting it our and driving it and taking the pictures of it. These things are too much fun to drive around. It really brings to kid in you out!
Ans lol
It amazes me that there's somebody out there that's willing to buy this for somebody else and just send it to him especially at this price
Th RC Elf did a tremendous amount for a bunch of channels by send them cars. I was extremely blessed to have him send me multipole kits and without his generosity and support I do not think I would be a big of a channel as I am now or even still doing this. He proved to me there are great, kind souls still out there and people still believe in others and want to see them succeed. I am still humbled when I see the various kits he sent me and can never thank him enough for all the support.
@@AddamsPlayground do you ask for them or does he just send them to you
@@nomusicrc I have never asked for anything. He just reached out to smaller channels and offered to send something to them. He did this over about a 2 year period to dozens and dozens of channels around the world. He has since stepped back and retired as the RC Elf. His legacy is documented here and on many other channels forever and we are all very grateful for him and his generosity!
@@AddamsPlayground Did you feel safe giving him your address or did you have it delivered to a PO box
@@nomusicrc I had verified he and the offer was legit from another channel that had gotten a kit prior from him before giving any info!
Beautiful job Addam really nice paint work , i know it's an old video but i had to comment 👍👍👍
Thank Herbie! I love the way this one turned out. It is a great kit and it looks and sounds so real! It is a beautiful truck and it makes me smile every time I drive it!
Nice personal touch on the bulkhead you did a beautiful job matching boxart, I'm doing a KH, GH & BUGGYRA FATFOX with a flatbed trailer for BUGGYRA & a box pit trailer all with matching paint a race team theam these are fun trucks to build & run with all the MFC features, great video 😉👍🚛
They really are a lot of fun to build and drive. I have plans for another one already custom built from a GH. I hope I going to get one of the Beier sound units for it as I want a lot of custom sounds for it! That and it is something I have not tried yet so it should be fun to learn the unit and get it all setup! Thanks as always for stopping by and checking in!!!
Wow, this Truck is awsome!
Tamiya realy make nice scalemodells. And you did an awsome work too Adam....
Im shure at night it transforms into Optimus Prime.....;-)
The kits are really great and I am wanting to do another one but it will probably be a winter project as it does take a lot of time to do them. I appreciate the kind words and I am pretty happy with the results. I think it may transform at night as every time I go back out to the shop it is messier than I remember leaving it so it must be the truck making the mess!!! Thanks for watching and for checking in!!!
How many liters you can cry, if a fly decide to taking a dinner on this sublime chrome front bumper. For a plastic, the chrome is very beautiful, look like the true chrome
There is a lot of very nice chrome on these trucks I want to get a replacement bumper at some point with lights in it. Have too many other things to do first so it will have to wait so I am glad the stock one looks so nice!
Wow it's a work of art Addam. Great video too :-)
Thank you Pete! Decided the truck could speak for itself, no need for me to ruin it!!!
Beautiful and sounds 👊🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Stunning rig👍
Thank you! Certainy the most effort I have ever put into a build. It is not a difficult build but one that take a lot of time and prep to do. Appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment!
🤚 hey Mate I'm in here watching truck vids again I want to build one of these sooooo bad but I'm looking at $1,500 hundred down here for a kit just can't justify that I could two crawlers for that but can still admire yours work of art brother 👊
Holy Cow! That is more than what is in this whole truck.... Man that is not right, you are so much closer to Japan!! LOL!! Yeah I would stick to the crawlers as well! They are great kits to build and a lot of fun to drive but that is a lot to invest into one thing!
It's stupid how much we pay and even if I hunt around the net and import one it costs the same if not more with postage and import tax It's one of the reasons rc doesn't get the same attention down here it's unaffordable for a lot of people
@@rcuintheshed6981 Yeah, it sucks! It seems silly that you are so much closer but things are so much more expensive.
Very cool 😎
Thank you Purva!
BEAUTIFUL job. I think your spare lights were for the back of the sleeper, as i can see it has the holes for them. AWESOME build.
Yeah I have seen lights installed up there but most of those were for the original controls for the lights and on/off controls before the MFC01 had the separate control board under the steps. I thought about filling them in except for two spots for some work lights but I got too excited to get it going and skipped it!!
Awesome rig, you did a grat job👍👏👏👏
I appreciate your compliment. I saw the paint jobs on some of yours so coming from you it is a real compliment!
@@AddamsPlayground Thank you, Addam. As you said priming and give the paint the time it needs is importatant andhalf of the rent😉
Such a beauty, that colour really pops in the sun. Almost makes me wanna repaint mine, did my Grand Hauler in Gun metall.
I was hesitant to go the box art route but so glad I did. That blue pearl really came out great, a little tricky but ended up awesome. It is so transparent you really have to be careful about applying and you really have to build up a lot of layers to make it come alive and not look blotchy. Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
Epic build! It is so well detailed that the stills at the start of the video look like a full-sized truck. The colour combo and finish is awesome. Excellent work as usual!
Thank you! I felt kind of silly sitting in the middle of a public parking lot to get those shots but I was smiling the whole time so it didn't matter! It really is a blast to just roll around and honk the horn for no reason!! Instant kid again!!!
@@AddamsPlayground HA! Yes!!! I can relate. I feel goofy when I am out playing with my cars...errr, I mean "testing my scale models".
@@canuckchuck8836 I usually don't care but this time it was attracting a lot of attention. It would have been better if they just came and asked about it. The weird stares, I just chalk it up to jealousy!!!
*_This car looks so Strong bro*-
We will find out once I get the trailer how well it hauls stuff. I'm going to throw some various loads on it and see how it does! Thanks for watching!
That looks incredible, mate. Beautiful paint and it really pops in the sun. The rumble, sounds and lighting really sets it off. Job well done! Huge thumbs up to both you and The RC Elf. 👍👍
Thanks Mick, I can just sit there and stare at it!!! I have a few more little things to do but I just had to get it out and drive it around!! I had all kinds of people slowing down to see it. The MFC really makes it come alive and I am so glad I went with the pearl blue paint. RC Elf is amazing!
@@AddamsPlayground It is a thing of beauty, I'd sit the staring at it too lol. I'm sure the onlookers have never seen anything like that before!
I have a King Hauler to build when I eventually get around to it, I'll be using a couple of tips from your videos for sure. The switch for the rumbler is a great addition and the high turn motor too. 👍
Oh man, you gotta find to build that thing! And that switch is a good idea to save it from rattling apart!
That is awesome. I love the colors, behinds me of the Blue Angels which I love. Nice job on the build.
Yes, very close! I was a little worried with the yellow decals but they really look great on there. Thanks for watching!
that looks SUPER good! You did an awesome job with this project!
Thanks, it was certainly the most effort I have ever put into a build and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
That came out fantastic bro! Look at that paint sparkle. The Addams Playground on the sleeper back is a nice touch 👌🏼. You definitely should have alot more subs 👍🏻
Thank you, I am super happy with it. There is more to come, trailer should be here shortly! I'm gonna keep cranking out videos and hope they all show up soon!!
Beasutifull! Does anyone know where l can buy one allready built. Ready to go out of the box?
I don't know of anyone that does builds for sale, someone else may know. I know Bob of at Hobby Concepts channel just did a build series on building it - th-cam.com/video/Y9mfw8kYxs4/w-d-xo.html . I know he occasionally does custom builds so you may want to reach out to him to see if he would build one for you, not sure what the cost would be.
I have wanted one of those for many years. They are out of my budget for now. Does that kit come with all the lights and sounds?
It does not come with the lights and sounds. For lights you can use a standard light kit to do basic light, brakes and turn signals, For the sounds you need a full controller like the Tamiya MFC or one of the Beier sound and light kits. If I build another one, which I really want to I will be using the Beier controllers as they are a little less expansive and your can do a lot more programming and customizing to both the lights and sounds. So sadly to get lights and sounds you do have to spend a fair amount for them but if you do save up enough to get one I think they are well worth the time and money. I want to do a themed one, I would love to do the truck from the Maximum Overdrive movie! Thanks for watching and start that Grand Hauler piggy bank fund!
@@AddamsPlayground I am saving up for one. that max overdrive truck would be sweet. That movie is a classic. I am a huge semi fan. Always wanted to drive them but I have been stuck in a wheelchair all my life so that was never an option so I collect and build models instead. Those trucks are so realistic and cool looking but dang, they cost so much. Thanks for showing us your build.
@@keepupwithspeedy It is certainly the most detailed kit I have ever done and it was a treat to do. I appreciate the kind words and glad you enjoyed the build. I certainly hope you are able to get one yourself very soon!
