Tamiya 58414 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 U900 CR-01 1/10 Rock Crawler Kit  [58414]

Technical Rock Crawling with the Tamiya 58414 Unimog

The Tamiya 58414 presents the Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 U900 on the purpose-built CR-01 chassis, delivering a scale-ready crawler for enthusiasts. Its combination of historic truck form and practical suspension makes it a strong candidate for demanding trails.

Durable Chassis and Articulation

The CR-01 chassis uses aluminium ladder rails and resin cross members to provide a tough, realistic frame. The 4-link suspension and stabiliser maximise articulation and help the tyres stay planted on uneven lines.

Controlled Torque Delivery

A centrally placed 540 motor transfers power through expandable prop shafts and a planetary centre gearbox, lowering the centre of gravity. The 40.5:1 ratio is focused on torque for slow, stable climbing rather than top speed.

Grip-Focused Tyre and Wheel Setup

125mm rock crawler tyres deliver strong traction across rocks and loose surfaces and sit on newly designed 3-piece beadlock wheels that keep the tyre seating secure during flexing and impacts.

Accessories and Recommended Electronics

Add TLU-01 LED lights (ITEM 53909) for improved visibility after dark. The kit requires a 2-channel radio with one servo plus paint and assembly. Use the TEU-302BK ESC when you need consistent crawl control.

This Unimog and CR-01 combo is ideal for hobbyists focused on realistic scale rigs and technical crawling performance.
