Scale Cruising with the Tamiya Unimog 425 on CC-01

Collectors and trail riders will find the Tamiya 57896 - 1/10 XB Mercedes-Benz Unimog 425 an appealing mix of retro character and practical hobby engineering. Mounted on the CC-01 chassis, the model is ready to run out of the box and built to cope with rough paths and park sessions.

Built Like the Original Workhorse

The Unimog 425 made its mark across farming and utility roles in the 1970s and 1980s, noted for strong torque and a long wheelbase. Tamiya reproduces that feel in scale with a bright orange, pre-painted polycarbonate body that keeps the weight down while delivering authentic form.

CC-01 Layout for Dependable Handling

The CC-01 chassis is popular because it combines simple serviceability with robust parts. This rig uses full-time 4WD, a front double-wishbone layout and a rear 4-link solid axle, plus four CVA oil shocks to tame bumps. The 540-brushed motor and TEU-105BK ESC with BEC provide predictable power for crawling and low-speed trail work.

Plug-In and Drive

Shoppers will like that the model arrives factory-assembled and fitted with the Finespec 2.4GHz radio gear, so interference is minimised when running with others. The set-and-forget adjustments help new pilots get rolling quickly while letting experienced users focus on line choice and tyre selection.

For park runs and informal scale outings, the Tamiya 57896 Unimog 425 on the CC-01 chassis is a practical, eye-catching choice. It offers an easy entry into scale utility trucks with plenty of scope for personalising handling and appearance.
