The Tamiya 58675-60A Mercedes-Benz G 500 combines faithful scale styling and a rugged CC-02 chassis to create a practical trail model. The moulded polycarbonate body reproduces the G 500s key details while the chassis is built to handle off-road use.
The CC-02 platform mirrors a ladder-frame design to boost toughness and serviceability. The motor sits behind the front axle, with power sent through a gearbox and transfer case to the axles for reliable traction on mixed surfaces.
Builders can pick from twenty gear ratio settings spanning 11.09:1 to 29.28:1 to match the car to your preferred driving style, whether you want more torque for rough climbs or a higher ratio for flowy tracks.
The model features a 4-link rigid suspension with CVA oil-filled dampers to preserve ground clearance and stability. Lockable differentials help when tackling technical lines or soft ground where extra traction is needed.
If you enjoy hands-on builds and trail testing, the Tamiya 58675-60A Mercedes-Benz G 500 on the CC-02 is a dependable platform that rewards setup tweaks and careful driving.
