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.

It is manageable for newcomers with patience, but basic modelling skills and familiarity with RC terminology will make the build smoother.
Foam inserts that keep the tyre shape without being too stiff work best; experiment with softer inserts for better grip on rocks.
Yes. Roof racks, winches and LED kits install well, but check clearance and weight impact so the chassis balance is preserved.
Tune shock oil and spring rates for slow, compliant travel rather than hard rebound. Softer damping keeps tyres in contact with the terrain.
