The Mercedes G-Class has a reputation for durability and capable handling since 1979. The G 320 Cabrio, built from 1997 to 2001, brings a distinctive two-door look to the family. Tamiya's 1/10 scale interpretation mounts that classic shell onto the MF-01X chassis for a faithful miniature drive experience.
The MF-01X chassis suits mixed-use running, offering a rugged monocoque frame and built-in gearboxes for extra stiffness. The rear-mounted 540-type motor transmits power to the rear output via gear train while a propeller shaft carries power forward, creating even traction distribution between axles.
Wheelbase adjustment is easy, permitting 210mm or 239mm setups using spacer blocks plus optional prop shafts. The independent double wishbone suspension across all wheels with friction dampers provides predictable behaviour and straightforward maintenance for hobbyists.
The Tamiya 58629 MF-01X Mercedes-Benz G 320 Cabrio suits builders looking for accurate scale bodywork on a robust, tuneable 4WD chassis. It is a versatile platform for both display and casual driving.
