The Mercedes-Benz Unimog is a workhorse in full scale and this model mirrors that capability in RC form. Known historically as a UNIversal-Motor Gerät, the Unimog's reputation for adaptability is reflected here in a compact 1/10 kit that prioritises rugged looks and practical driving traits on the CW-01 wheelie chassis.
Built around the CW-01 chassis, the model manages both street runs and rough tracks with ease. It uses a 2WD configuration and a solid rear axle combined with a gear-type differential to deliver steady traction and simple maintenance, making it ideal for pilots who want predictable behaviour across varied surfaces.
This assembly kit offers an engaging build while including practical factory components. The clear polycarbonate body arrives pre-painted green so you can concentrate on detailing. The chassis is mainly plastic with friction dampers to keep the suspension uncomplicated, and the electrical package includes a TEU-105BK ESC and a 540-brushed motor for reliable, tried-and-tested performance.
The Tamiya 84319 Unimog on the CW-01 chassis is a straightforward, fun build for those who like a mix of scale authenticity and accessible performance, and it responds well to simple tuning and cosmetic upgrades.
