The HMMWV or Hummer has been a versatile military vehicle for decades. Tamiya presents the 58154 1/12 M1025 Hummer as a detailed scale replica, mounted on the TA01/02 chassis to preserve authentic proportions and on-track behaviour.
The TA01/02 chassis offers proven strength and dependable handling. Its shaft-driven full-time 4WD keeps drive to all wheels across loose surfaces while the bathtub frame, made from reinforced engineering plastic, houses double wishbone suspension and oil-filled shocks for controlled articulation.
The body shell is moulded from impact-resistant resin to hold crisp scale detail and resist bumps. Olive drab finish and semi-pneumatic lug-pattern tyres reflect the military heritage, with black plastic rims giving a neat, functional look suited to rough terrain.
The kit suits a 540-type motor for a balance of punch and runtime. Fit a 2-channel radio setup with two servos for steering and throttle control, and use a 6-cell flat battery as the internal space will not accept a 7-cell pack. Builders will need basic paints and tools to complete the model.
The Tamiya 58154 M1025 Hummer merges accurate military styling with a solid TA01/02 chassis, making it an appealing project for modellers who want both display quality and capable off-road performance.
