Scale Workhorse: Tamiya Unimog 425 on CC-01 Chassis

Model builders and scale drivers will recognise the appeal of the Tamiya 57896 - 1/10 XB Mercedes-Benz Unimog 425 as a compact representation of a versatile real-world truck. On the CC-01 chassis, the model delivers scale looks with functional driving traits suited to low-speed trail use and display.

Authentic Roots and Model Detail

The Unimog 425 was noted for its utility in the 1970s and 1980s, combining torque and a long wheelbase for demanding tasks. Tamiya mirrors that presence with a finely shaped pre-painted polycarbonate body that emphasises proper lines and scale proportions.

CC-01 Mechanics for Practical Running

The CC-01 platform is known for its easy servicing and long-term durability. This kit features permanent 4WD, a double-wishbone front end and a 4-link solid rear axle. Four oil-filled CVA dampers help maintain composure over rutted surfaces, while the 540-brushed motor and TEU-105BK ESC deliver steady, controllable power.

Ready-Assembled with Reliable Radio

Arriving factory-assembled and fitted with a Finespec 2.4GHz radio system, the model is quick to get on the track or trail. The straightforward control layout suits newcomers, yet the chassis leaves room for upgrades for those seeking enhanced performance.

Whether for scale display or slow technical trails, the Tamiya 57896 Unimog 425 on the CC-01 chassis is a practical and attractive choice. Its RTR build and solid component set suit both newcomers and hobbyists looking for a reliable scale platform.
