The HMMWV, widely recognised as the Hummer, has spent decades in service across many roles. Tamiya reproduces this vehicle as the 58154 1/12 M1025 Hummer, mounted on the TA01/02 chassis to retain the appearance and handling cues of the original at scale.
The TA01/02 is valued for its sturdy build and reliable dynamics. A shaft-driven full-time 4WD arrangement ensures consistent traction while the bathtub frame of engineering plastic supports double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers for controlled movement over rough ground.
The body shell is moulded from high-impact resin to keep fine detail while coping with field use. Olive drab paint and semi-pneumatic lug tyres with black plastic rims recreate the military aesthetic and deliver usable off-road grip.
The kit is designed around a 540-type motor for balanced performance. Install a 2-channel radio with two servos and a flat 6-cell battery pack because a 7-cell will not fit within the chassis space. Completing the build requires basic modelling tools and paintwork.
The Tamiya 58154 M1025 Hummer combines faithful scale styling with a tried-and-tested TA01/02 chassis, a fine option for modellers wanting a realistic military subject that also performs on rough tracks.
