Tamiya 47370 Retro Isuzu Mu Type X CC-01 Chassis Kit  [47370]

Return of a Retro Off-Roader: Tamiya 47370 Isuzu Mu Type X

The Tamiya 47370 - 1/10 Isuzu Mu Type X CC-01 revives a mid-90s SUV silhouette in scale form, fitted to the adaptable CC-01 chassis. The original model, first seen in November 1995 and also known under names like Rodeo Sport, is recreated here with a carefully moulded injection body and chassis layout designed for easy servicing.

How the CC-01 Tackles Different Surfaces

The CC-01 platform uses a continuous 4WD arrangement driven by a motor set longitudinally, which routes torque forward through a gearbox and rear through a prop shaft. Front and rear differentials allow controlled cornering, and builders can choose to lock the rear diff when building to improve traction on softer tracks. The front suspension features double wishbones with upper single links and H-shaped lower arms while the rear stays rigid, all damped by four CVA oil shocks to smooth out rough runs.

Build Process and On-Track Behaviour

The Tamiya 47370 kit is laid out for straightforward assembly, making it friendly for those moving up from RTR models. Finished, it provides a steady on-road ride and competent off-road manners, with its true-to-era bodywork and a chassis that is simple to tune and maintain.

The Tamiya 47370 - 1/10 Isuzu Mu Type X CC-01 suits model builders who like a period-correct shell on a simple, durable chassis for trail runs and display.
