Tamiya 47370 Isuzu Mu Type X Vintage CC-01 Build Kit  [47370]

Vintage 4x4 Style: Tamiya 47370 Isuzu Mu Type X on CC-01

The Tamiya 47370 - 1/10 Isuzu Mu Type X CC-01 recreates the iconic mid-90s SUV in scale, combining a faithful injection-molded body with the rugged CC-01 chassis. The full-size Mu Type X first appeared in November 1995 and was marketed under different badges worldwide; this RC kit captures that era with parts designed for routine maintenance and reliable service life.

Design and Function of the CC-01 Chassis

The CC-01 chassis delivers consistent 4WD traction via a longitudinal motor arrangement. Torque is transferred forward through a gearbox and to the rear by a prop shaft, complemented by front and rear differentials for smoother cornering. Builders can choose to lock the rear differential when assembling for improved grip on rough ground. Front suspension uses a double wishbone layout with upper single links and lower H-arms, while the rear is a rigid setup, all supported by four CVA oil dampers to control movement across varied terrain.

Construction and Road Feel

The kit layout and part fitment make the Tamiya 47370 accessible to hobbyists who enjoy hands-on builds. When completed, the model behaves steadily on tarmac and provides confident traction off-road, with its period-correct bodywork and a chassis that is simple to service and tune.

The Tamiya 47370 - 1/10 Isuzu Mu Type X CC-01 is a solid pick for modellers and trail riders seeking a classic-looking shell on a practical, durable chassis.
