Tamiya 58457 Unimog 406 U900 Scale Workhorse Kit  [58457]

Practical Scale Truck: Tamiya 58457 Unimog 406

The Tamiya 58457 RC Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 Series U900 on the CC-01 chassis recreates a multi-role off-road truck in 1/10 scale. Its distinctive bonnet and round lights mirror the original vehicle that has been used across many applications since the 1960s.

Drive and Suspension for Mixed Terrain

The CC-01 chassis provides a reliable platform with a front-mounted motor driving a shaft-driven full-time 4WD system. With double wishbone front suspension and a 4-link rigid rear layout fitted with CVA oil dampers, the model negotiates uneven ground well. Builders can choose to lock the rear differential at assembly to increase traction when needed.

Authentic Styling with Upgrade Potential

The kit includes a tough polycarbonate body and metal-plated grille components that capture the Unimog look. LEDs can be added for authentic lighting, and the ladder frame bathtub chassis with longitudinal motor placement leaves room for tuning parts and customisation.

Tamiya 58457 Unimog 406 is a solid base for scale truck enthusiasts who want a realistic appearance with the option to improve electronics and handling for tougher use.
