The G-Class has built a reputation for toughness and off-road ability since its debut in 1979. The two-door G 320 Cabrio, produced from 1997 to 2001, captures a vintage SUV style that many modellers admire. Tamiya reproduces that look and presence in a faithful 1/10 scale model mounted on the adaptable MF-01X chassis.
The MF-01X is designed for versatile use, performing well on sealed surfaces and light trails. Its monocoque style frame includes integrated gearboxes to add stiffness. The motor sits at the rear and drives the rear wheels through gears while a propeller shaft transfers power to the front, creating dependable 4WD behaviour.
Customisation is straightforward with wheelbase options from 210mm to 239mm using spacer blocks and optional props. Independent double wishbone suspension on all four corners plus friction dampers helps the model maintain composure and manageable handling for different skill levels.
Tamiya 58629 MF-01X Mercedes-Benz G 320 Cabrio is well suited to modellers who want an accurate scale body on a flexible 4WD chassis. It makes a rewarding project for those who enjoy assembly and setup tuning.
