IronSights 225 Posted September 15, 2017 So I am building the new Tamiya Cascadia. I was just wondering why they don't have a smokestack for it? I was really hoping to put a smoke system in it to give realism, but there is no stack (Exhaust Stack)??????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GooneyBird 938 Posted September 15, 2017 Doesn't the real Cascadia have a Euro-style side exhaust? I mean, it is a model of a real truck after all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IronSights 225 Posted September 15, 2017 I know I can buy one. I just have always known Tamiya to never leave any detail out of their 1/14 scale rigs. I wonder why they didn't put one in this kit????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berman 5315 Posted September 16, 2017 From the factory they don't have stacks. Pretty sure all the Euros that have standardised box mufflers IRL arent replicated on Tamiyas 1/14 trucks either. No point it making something that isn't there on the real thing. There are plenty of aftermarket makers of stainless pipes for the 1/14 trucks in either straight, mitred, and dog-eared. Of you can buy some Tamiya ones and retro fit them. Also don't forget the back panel on the Cascadia has to be accessible to change the battery/electronics. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Backlash 481 Posted September 16, 2017 It seems that Freightliner offer an optional "Horizontal Exhaust" on the Cascadia Evolution, so I'm guessing that is what Tamiya has copied..https://freightliner.com/trucks/cascadia-evolution/specifications/ Its also as Berman has said, many of these newer trucks have a "Selective Catalytic Reduction" (SCR) system to remove and lower exhaust emissions..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_catalytic_reductionhttp://www.truckinginfo.com/channel/equipment/article/story/2009/10/test-drive-detroit-diesels-dd13-and-dd15-driving-with-scr.aspx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
