Key Features
- Genuine Stainless Steel Construction — These exhaust stacks are manufactured from quality stainless steel, ensuring exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion regardless of whether your RC truck operates indoors or outdoors. Stainless steel won't rust or degrade over time, meaning your investment in scale detail will remain pristine for years of operation.
- Gloss Silver Finish — The mirror-bright gloss silver finish authentically replicates the polished chrome appearance of real commercial lorry exhaust stacks, instantly elevating the visual impact of your build. This reflective finish catches light beautifully during photography and display, making your Tamiya hauler stand out at RC meets and events across the UK.
- Matched Left and Right Pair — The kit includes both left and right exhaust stacks, providing the symmetrical dual-stack appearance characteristic of professional-grade big-rig trucks. This authentic two-stack configuration is essential for achieving that full-scale lorry aesthetic.
- Precise Diameter and Length Specifications — With a diameter of 0.62 inches (16mm) and length of 10.9 inches (279mm), these stacks are dimensionally correct for 1/14 scale applications. The proportions ensure the exhaust stacks complement the overall truck geometry without appearing oversized or undersized relative to the cab and chassis.
- Complete Hardware Package — Installation is straightforward thanks to the inclusion of four M3 x 6mm steel button head cap screws, providing secure mounting without requiring additional fasteners or trips to specialist suppliers.
- Lightweight Installation — At just 6.94 ounces (197g) total weight for the pair, these exhaust stacks add negligible mass to your RC truck, ensuring they don't negatively impact handling, acceleration, or battery runtime.
- Tamiya Compatibility — These stacks are specifically engineered to fit the Tamiya 1/14 King Hauler and 1/14 Grand Hauler platforms, ensuring perfect alignment and mounting without modification or adaptation required.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD Bent Exhaust Stacks represent a masterclass in scale detail engineering. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, these components offer exceptional build quality and longevity compared to plastic alternatives. The material choice is deliberate — stainless steel won't discolour, rust, or degrade when exposed to moisture, dust, or the rigours of regular outdoor operation. For RC enthusiasts across the UK who invest heavily in their 1/14 scale builds, stainless steel construction represents genuine value and durability. The gloss silver finish is applied to enhance the reflective, polished chrome appearance typical of premium commercial lorries. Each exhaust stack measures precisely 0.62 inches in diameter and 279mm in length, proportions calculated specifically for the 1/14 scale Tamiya King Hauler and Grand Hauler chassis. The bent profile of each stack is engineered to angle away from the cab in the manner of real big-rig exhausts, creating an authentic silhouette when viewed from the side. Installation hardware comprises four M3 x 6mm steel button head cap screws, specifically matched to the mounting requirements of Tamiya 1/14 trucks. The total component weight of 197g ensures these upgrades integrate seamlessly without affecting vehicle dynamics, weight distribution, or battery performance. This is scale detailing done properly — thoughtful engineering, quality materials, and attention to authentic proportions create a final result that commands attention and respect at RC events throughout the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these exhaust stacks fit my Tamiya 1/14 scale truck? — Yes, the RC4WD Bent Exhaust Stacks (Z-S2144) are specifically engineered for the Tamiya 1/14 King Hauler and Tamiya 1/14 Grand Hauler. These are the only platforms these stacks are designed to fit, ensuring perfect alignment and mounting without modification.
- What makes stainless steel the right choice for RC exhaust stacks? — Stainless steel resists corrosion, rust, and discolouration far better than plastic or painted alternatives. When you're investing in scale detail for your RC truck, stainless steel ensures your upgrade remains pristine regardless of weather, storage conditions, or outdoor operation. The material won't fade, crack, or degrade over years of use.
- Are these difficult to install on my King Hauler or Grand Hauler? — Installation is straightforward. The mounting hardware (four M3 x 6mm steel button head cap screws) is included, and the stacks are engineered for direct fitment on Tamiya 1/14 platforms. No drilling, modification, or special tools beyond basic hex drivers are required.
- Will adding these exhaust stacks affect my truck's performance or handling? — No. At just 197g combined weight, the bent exhaust stacks add negligible mass to your RC truck. There will be no measurable impact on acceleration, top speed, handling characteristics, or battery runtime.
- Can I use these stacks if I modify or customise my truck? — The stacks are designed specifically for factory Tamiya 1/14 King Hauler and Grand Hauler geometry. If you've made significant modifications to your truck's cab area or bodywork, fitment may be affected. We recommend consulting with RC Model Shop if you have a heavily modified build.
- What's the difference between the gloss silver finish and alternatives? — The gloss silver finish provides an authentic polished chrome appearance that reflects light beautifully, creating dramatic visual impact in photography and at RC events. This is far more visually striking than matte or painted finishes and accurately replicates the appearance of real commercial lorry exhausts.
- Are replacement screws available if I lose one? — Yes, RC4WD offers replacement M3 x 6mm steel button head cap screws (Z-S0651) available separately through RC Model Shop, should you ever need additional fasteners.
