Why do we talk about “Tractors” in truck modeling?
It is very common to read the term "tractor" in the world of rc truck. Rest assured, these are absolutely not agricultural machines! In professional road jargon, a "tractor" (or road tractor) designates the front driving part of a semi-trailer truck, the one which houses the cabin, the engine and the fifth wheel. This is the independent vehicle on which the trailer is attached. So, buying a “tractor only” means that you are purchasing the motorized cab without any trailer at the rear.
Want a Truck + Trailer lot?
To extend the experience and increase realism, nothing beats adding a trailer to your big remote control truck ! Whether it is a tray, a refrigerated container or a vehicle carrier to transport your vehicles, you will find what you are looking for in our category dedicated to RC truck trailers.
Are all trailers compatible with all tractors? The answer is yes, in the vast majority of cases! On the standardized scale of 1/14, trailers Tamiya and Carson use a universal fifth wheel system. You can therefore hitch any 1/14 trailer to any 1/14 tractor of these brands without any problem.
