    Bring big-job capability to your RC construction site with the Kabolite K5703 1/14 Scale 8x8 Electric Dump Truck. Designed for operators who want the imposing stance, working functions, and mechanical presence of a modern heavy hauler, the K5703 combines eight-wheel drive with a two-speed transmission for confident travel across dirt, gravel, and uneven work areas. Its electrically powered dump mechanism raises the bed smoothly to a maximum angle of 47 degrees, while the bed’s rated load capacity of up to 15 kg (33.1 lb.) makes this truck far more than a display model. A metal chassis rail, metal crossmember, metal driveshafts, and metal transmission gears give the drivetrain a solid, durable foundation, and the model’s substantial 8.5 kg (18.7 lb.) weight delivers the planted feel scale construction enthusiasts appreciate. Realistic lighting and sound add atmosphere to every haul, from the trip to the loading zone to the final tip at the dump site. Supplied assembled, painted, and equipped with a FlySky 2.4GHz radio system, vehicle battery, and charger, the K5703 arrives ready for your next large-scale construction project after charging the included 74v 5000mAh LiPo battery and supplying four Alkaline batteries for the transmitter.
    Heavy-Duty 8x8 Traction

    All four axles are driven, giving the K5703 the grip to move through realistic construction-site terrain with greater confidence. The two-speed transmission lets you select the gear that best suits the job: use low gear for controlled maneuvering and load handling, then shift to high gear when it is time to travel between work zones.
    Powerful Electric Dump System

    Load, transport, and tip material with the touch of a transmitter control. The electric lifting mechanism raises the bed smoothly to a maximum 47-degree angle and is rated to handle loads up to 15 kg (33.1 lb). Unlike a static scale truck, the K5703 delivers the working action needed for interactive hauling alongside excavators, loaders, and other 1/14 scale construction equipment.
    Metal Where It Matters

    The K5703 balances a detailed molded body with a strong metal foundation. Metal chassis rails, crossmembers, driveshafts, and transmission gears reinforce key load-bearing and power-transmitting areas, helping the truck withstand repeated driving, loading, and dumping. At approximately 8.5 kg (18.7 lb), it has the reassuring mass and planted handling expected from a premium RC construction vehicle.
    Realistic Lights and Sound

    Working lights bring the truck to life during daytime or dusk operations, while the integrated sound system adds convincing engine and vehicle effects. Together with the detailed cab, multi-axle chassis, large rubber tires, and functional bed, these systems create an immersive scale experience whether the K5703 is working or parked in a display lineup.
