Scale Off-Roading with the Tamiya 58414 Unimog on CR-01

The Tamiya 58414 recreates the Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 U900 at 1/10 scale on the CR-01 chassis, blending faithful scale appearance with crawling-capable hardware. It is aimed at enthusiasts who appreciate accurate styling and functional suspension.

Sturdy Ladder Frame and Suspension Travel

The CR-01 ladderframe construction employs aluminium channels and resin cross members to resist stress during hard use. Its 4-link setup with a stabiliser allows exceptional articulation and keeps tyres in contact over uneven obstacles.

Efficient Centre Drive and Low CG

The centre-mounted 540 motor drives expandable prop shafts and a planetary centre gearbox to maintain a low centre of gravity. The 40.5:1 gear ratio is tuned for torque and controlled crawling rather than speed.

Scale Wheels Matched to Aggressive Tyres

125mm diameter crawler tyres deliver grip on rock and loose ground and are fitted to new 3-piece beadlock wheels that ensure the tyre remains seated when flexing. The ladder frame details enhance the model's scale authenticity.

Modular Upgrades and Required Parts

Add-on TLU-01 LED lights (ITEM 53909) bring realism to night runs. The kit requires a 2-channel radio with one servo, paint and assembly. For better crawling control choose the TEU-302BK ESC over the basic TEU-101BK.

The Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 U900 on the CR-01 chassis is a practical and authentic choice for modelers focused on realistic scale crawling.
