A convincing RC dump truck needs more than a working bed. The drivetrain, hauling capacity, transmission, lighting, sound, and overall proportions all contribute to whether the model genuinely feels at home alongside excavators and loaders on an RC construction site. The Kabolite K5702 RC Dump Truck brings these elements together in a substantial 1:14-scale 6×6 construction truck designed around realistic hauling and dumping operation.
The Kabolite K5702 RC Dump Truck arrives fully assembled and painted in RTR form, combining plastic, metal, and rubber components. Its two-speed transmission gives the operator greater flexibility while driving, while a lead-screw-driven dump bed provides controlled raising and lowering for unloading.
Add a 6×6 drivetrain, maximum dump load below 4kg, 47° maximum dump-bed angle, approximately 40–60 minutes of runtime, 2.4GHz control, LED lighting, and realistic sound effects, and the K5702 becomes a capable transport machine for an established RC construction fleet.
Large 1:14-Scale Construction Truck
The Kabolite K5702 is built at 1:14 scale, giving it dimensions substantial enough to complement many larger RC construction models.
It measures:
645 × 208 × 273mm
or approximately:
64.5 × 20.8 × 27.3cm
At nearly 65cm long, the K5702 has the size and proportions to make a strong visual impression whether it is actively hauling material or displayed alongside other construction machinery.
The truck is delivered brand new, assembled, and painted, making it an RTR or Ready-to-Run model rather than a kit requiring complete assembly before use.
Plastic, Metal and Rubber Construction
Kabolite specifies three primary materials for the K5702:
Plastic + Metal + Rubber
This mixed-material approach allows the model to combine structural components with detailed bodywork and functional tires.
It is important, however, not to describe the K5702 as an all-metal truck. The supplied specifications clearly identify a combination of plastic, metal, and rubber without giving percentages for each material.
For enthusiasts, the result is a construction-focused model designed to balance appearance, durability, and working functionality.
6×6 Drivetrain
The K5702 uses a:
6×6 drivetrain
This is an important part of the truck's construction character. All three axle positions contribute to the six-wheel layout, creating the stance expected from a heavy-duty scale dump truck.
The 6×6 configuration is designed to provide stable and realistic operation as the truck moves around a miniature construction site.
One specification worth noting is that the axles are explicitly listed as having:
No differential locks
That distinction matters because differential-lock capability should not be assumed simply because a model uses a 6×6 drivetrain.
Two-Speed Transmission
Another major feature is the two-speed gearbox.
Rather than limiting the truck to a single drive setting, the transmission provides two speed options for different operating situations.
This can be particularly useful on an RC worksite where driving requirements change. Controlled maneuvering near an excavator or loader requires a different approach from travelling between loading and unloading areas.
The two-speed transmission therefore adds another layer to the K5702's operation and complements its construction-focused design.
Lead-Screw Dump Bed Lifting
The dump bed is one of the K5702's most important working components.
Instead of being a decorative feature, it uses a lead-screw lifting mechanism to raise the bed for unloading.
Lead-screw operation provides controlled movement of the bed and allows the truck to reproduce the basic loading-and-dumping cycle expected from a construction hauler.
The maximum stated dump-bed angle is: 47°
That gives the bed a significant tipping range when unloading suitable material.
Maximum Dump Load below 4kg
The K5702 has a stated maximum dump load of: < 4kg
This specification is particularly useful for RC construction enthusiasts because it provides a clear reference for the truck's hauling role.
Rather than simply describing the bed as capable of carrying “heavy loads,” the supplied information establishes an upper limit below four kilograms.
The K5702 can therefore be paired with a suitably scaled excavator or loader to create realistic material-handling scenarios while keeping loads within the manufacturer's stated specification.
Approximately 40–60 Minutes of Runtime
The supplied operating time is approximately: 40–60 minutes
This gives the truck enough working time for extended hauling sessions.
A construction truck's operation typically involves repeated cycles:
Drive to loading area → Position → Load → Transport → Raise dump bed → Unload → Return
A 40–60-minute stated runtime allows multiple cycles to be completed during a typical RC construction session.
A rechargeable battery and charger are both included with the truck. However, the supplied specifications do not identify the battery voltage or capacity, so those figures should not be assumed.
3–5 Hour Charging Time
Charging takes approximately:
3–5 hours
The actual supplied charging period therefore varies within a fairly broad window.
For longer RC construction sessions, charging the truck fully beforehand is the most practical approach, particularly when it is being operated alongside excavators and loaders with their own battery schedules.
Driving Speed below 40m/min
The K5702's stated driving speed is: < 40 metres per minute
Preserving the original unit gives a clearer representation of the supplied specification.
At the upper limit, 40m/min corresponds to 2.4km/h, although the K5702 is specifically rated at less than 40m/min rather than exactly that speed.
Combined with the two-speed gearbox, this provides a useful balance between controlled worksite maneuvering and movement between different parts of an RC construction setup.
2.4GHz Remote-Control System
The included remote-control system operates at: 2.4GHz
The stated operating range is: ≥ 25 metres
A range of at least 25 metres provides ample room for most construction-style operating scenarios, where the truck typically moves between nearby loading and unloading zones rather than travelling over very long distances.
The package includes both the 2.4GHz remote controller and receiver.
The supplied information does not specify channel count or proportional-control capability, so neither should be added without further confirmation.
Realistic LED Lighting
Lighting is another area where the K5702 goes beyond basic RC movement.
Its integrated LED system includes:
Brake lights and reverse lights
These functional lighting effects reinforce the appearance of a working truck, particularly when the K5702 changes direction or is maneuvered around other equipment.
The lighting system is integrated into the model's 3-in-1 mainboard, together with the electronic speed controller and sound system.
Built-In Construction Truck Sounds
The K5702 also incorporates several sound effects.
Confirmed sounds include:
Start-up/idle sound
Forward/reverse sounds
Horn
Sound can significantly enhance the operating experience when the model is being used as part of a larger construction fleet.
Combined with the LED system and moving dump bed, these effects help the K5702 communicate its actions visually and audibly.
Approach and Departure Angles
Kabolite provides useful specifications for the truck's front and rear geometry.
The K5702 has a:
23° front approach angle
and:
31° rear departure angle
These figures describe the angular clearance at the front and rear of the truck and are relevant when transitioning onto changes in terrain.
The maximum tire diameter is stated as:
85mm
Together with the 6×6 drivetrain, these specifications reinforce the truck's heavy construction-machine proportions.
A Natural Partner for RC Excavators and Loaders
A dump truck becomes considerably more engaging when it has another machine to work with.
Pairing the K5702 with an RC excavator allows material to be loaded into the dump bed before the truck transports it elsewhere. A hydraulic wheel loader or crawler loader can perform the same role with loose material.
The operating sequence becomes:
Load → Haul → Position → Tip → Unload → Return
This gives every machine a specific purpose and creates a much more realistic miniature construction site than operating each vehicle independently.
The K5702's sub-4kg maximum dump load, two-speed transmission, 6×6 drivetrain, and lead-screw bed make it particularly well suited to this type of coordinated construction play.
