Tamiya 58414 1/10 RC Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 U900 CR-01 Scale Crawler  [58414]

Scale Crawling Precision with the Tamiya 58414 Unimog

The Tamiya 58414 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 U900 on the CR-01 platform delivers accurate scale lines and purposeful crawling geometry. This 1/10 model blends the original truck silhouette with a chassis tuned for slow-speed control and obstacle negotiation.

Heavy-Duty Frame and Travel

The CR-01 ladder frame is reinforced with aluminium channels and resin cross members to resist flex under load. The 4-link suspension and stabiliser allow large wheel travel and excellent tyre contact on uneven terrain.

Low Center of Gravity Drivetrain

A centrally mounted 540 motor feeds the expandable propeller shafts and a compact planetary centre gearbox, keeping weight low for better stability. The 40.5:1 gearing supplies steady, crawl-oriented torque for technical ascents.

Tread and Wheel Construction

Large 125mm crawler tyres offer strong grip on rock and loose soil while the new 3-piece beadlock wheels secure the tyre when flexing. The realistic ladder frame styling enhances the model's authentic appearance.

Electronics and Lighting Options

Optional TLU-01 LED lights (ITEM 53909) can be added for night running. The kit requires a 2-channel radio and one steering servo plus paint and assembly. For reliable control use the TEU-302BK ESC for crawling conditions.

Tamiya's Unimog on the CR-01 is a solid platform for hobbyists who value scale accuracy and dependable crawling performance.
