Compact Utility Model with Realistic Presence

The Tamiya 57815 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 Series U900 reproduces the vehicle in 1/10 scale while keeping practical driving characteristics. Built on the CC-01 chassis, it balances scale looks with robust chassis performance for field and trail use.

Why the Unimog Stands Out

The Unimog has a long history as a multipurpose workhorse, able to adapt to many tasks. The 406 variant is valued for its versatility and ability to accept implements, and this RC version mirrors that adaptable spirit through a conservative, utility-focused design.

Chassis Dynamics and Traction

The CC-01 platform gives this model dependable 4WD traction across loose or uneven surfaces. Front and rear differentials smooth handling, while the option to lock the rear differential helps when climbing or crawling over technical obstacles. The polycarbonate body keeps the shape accurate while resisting damage.

Scale Trim and Illumination

Small ABS components recreate door mirrors and light bezels for a tidy finish. Working LED headlights and taillights heighten realism and help with visibility on dim tracks or evening runs.

Whether used on rough tracks or kept as a faithful scale model, the Tamiya 57815 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 makes a practical and authentic addition to any RC collection.

Assembly time varies with experience, but most hobbyists can complete the build over a weekend if they work steadily and follow the instructions.
Medium compound, all-terrain tyres provide a good balance of grip and durability for varied off-road surfaces; check wheel diameter compatibility before fitting alternatives.
Polycarbonate bodies require specific paints and masking techniques, but with standard polycarbonate lacquers and care you can achieve a clean, durable finish.
