Get Stuck Into the Tamiya 58557 Unimog 406

The Tamiya 58557 Unimog 406 Wheelie puts the rugged presence of the Mercedes-Benz Unimog into a compact 1/10 package that is enjoyable to build and run. The model merges realistic detailing with a chassis that invites off-road antics. Positioned on the CW01 frame, it is ideal for drivers who enjoy wheelies and casual trail work.

CW01 Basics for Robust Running

The CW01 chassis is a straightforward, reliable layout in Tamiya's catalogue, favoured for its ease of maintenance. It features a durable axle configuration alongside a front suspension arrangement that helps on uneven tracks. The 2WD system keeps repairs simple and the friction dampers assist in keeping runs consistent.

Miniature Unimog, Real Attitude

The original Mercedes-Benz Unimog is famed for handling tough terrain, and this scale version mirrors that intent while adding playful handling characteristics. It tackles a variety of surfaces and translates the original vehicle's utility into an accessible RC format.

Painting, Decals and Light Prep

The kit includes a clear polycarbonate body ready for your paintwork plus a vinyl sticker set for finishing touches. LED light buckets are provided so you can add lighting if desired, which helps when driving in low light or for show pieces.

Ordered and received my RC car, transmitter, battery and several hot-up items in very fast time and with no postage damage. Slight overlook on the packing with 2 duplicate items being missed. After contacting RCJAZ witht he issue they quickly corrected
Yes, the design copes with light sand and dust, but regular cleaning and care of moving parts is recommended to prevent wear.
The kit includes a TEU-105BK ESC and a 540-brushed motor, but you will need to supply a battery, charger, radio gear, servo and receiver.
With careful painting and detailing it can be competitive in scale classes, though the chassis is aimed more at fun driving than extreme scale realism.
Aftermarket shocks can be fitted with modest modification, offering improved damping for heavier or more aggressive use.
Standard modelling tools and polycarbonate paints are sufficient; a sharp craft knife and fine masking tape help achieve clean paint lines.
