Builders who enjoy accurate scale models and usable off-road performance will find the Tamiya 58609 Mercedes Benz Unimog 425 rewarding. This 1/10 kit on the CC-01 framework recreates the Unimog's capable profile, a vehicle historically valued for its versatility and off-road strength. Historically, the Unimog featured around 120hp and a 2.81m wheelbase that suited heavy duty tasks.
The CC-01 chassis is favoured for its straightforward construction and dependable cross-country ability. The independent front suspension and rear 4-link solid axle combine to give reliable articulation, while the 4WD powertrain and gear-type diffs keep traction consistent across uneven ground.
The polycarbonate body faithfully reproduces the Unimog's angular cabin and external fittings such as the snorkel, cap vent and side mirrors. Metal-look light bezels and the Mercedes-Benz badge add to the scale effect, and included LEDs improve visibility during dusk runs.
With over 40 Hop-Up Options for the CC-01, hobbyists can alter gearing, clearance and durability to suit different driving styles. The platform supports modest to more extensive upgrades depending on your goals.
The Tamiya 58609 Mercedes Benz Unimog 425 combines faithful scale appearance with a proven chassis, making it a practical choice for scale runs and outdoor trail work.
