The high-mobility HMMWV has a long service history in military roles. Tamiya recreates that pedigree with the 58154 1/12 M1025 Hummer, fitted to the TA01/02 chassis to emulate the full-size vehicle's stance and capability at scale.
The TA01/02 chassis is designed for toughness and predictable dynamics. A shaft-driven full-time 4WD system keeps power distributed while the bathtub-style frame, crafted from robust engineering plastic, supports double wishbone suspension and oil-filled shocks for stable off-road performance.
The true-to-scale body shell uses impact-resistant resin to retain crisp detail and resist knocks. Olive drab colouring with semi-pneumatic lug tyres and black plastic rims recreates the military look while providing sensible traction for rough surfaces.
Intended for a 540-type motor, the kit balances speed and torque. Fit a 2-channel radio and two servos for full basic control, and use a 6-cell flat battery pack because a 7-cell will not fit inside the chassis. Assembly expects basic modelling skills and standard paints and tools.
The Tamiya 58154 M1025 Hummer pairs authentic military detailing with a sturdy TA01/02 chassis, making it a satisfying project for builders who want a realistic, trail-capable RC truck.
