For off-road enthusiasts who enjoy scale realism, the Tamiya 57896 - 1/10 XB Mercedes-Benz Unimog 425 provides an authentic silhouette with practical trail capability. The CC-01 chassis gives a reliable base that handles general off-road conditions and slow-speed technical sections.
The production Unimog 425 was a versatile machine across agricultural and industrial roles during the 1970s and 1980s. Tamiya reproduces its character in miniature with a vivid pre-painted orange polycarbonate body that captures the truck's rugged profile while remaining durable for hobby use.
The CC-01 is favoured for its simple yet sturdy setup. This model includes full-time 4WD, front double-wishbone suspension and a rear 4-link solid axle. Four CVA oil dampers help steady the vehicle, and the 540-brushed motor paired with the TEU-105BK ESC offers dependable low-end power for controlled crawling.
Coming factory-assembled with the Finespec 2.4GHz radio, the model reduces pre-run fuss and lowers the risk of interference at group events. The user-friendly setup is well suited to newcomers while still letting experienced drivers tweak performance through simple component swaps.
The Tamiya 57896 Unimog 425 on the CC-01 chassis is a solid choice for hobbyists who want a scale work truck that is ready to run and easy to maintain. It is robust enough for club days and adaptable for upgrades as skills grow.
