The Tamiya 58557 Unimog 406 Wheelie captures the distinctive look of the Mercedes-Benz Unimog in a compact 1/10 scale project that is fun to assemble. The model balances a realistic body with a chassis tuned for playful driving. On the CW01 frame it is set up for wheelies and general off-road enjoyment.
The CW01 chassis is a straightforward and rugged choice from Tamiya, popular for its ease of maintenance and dependable construction. It combines a robust axle setup with a front suspension arrangement that helps smooth out uneven surfaces. The 2WD drivetrain is easy to service and the friction dampers assist with controlled rides.
The real Unimog is noted for its exceptional off-road talents, and this scale version embodies that spirit while remaining accessible. It handles mixed terrain capably and provides an engaging, realistic feel on trails and smoother runs alike.
The clear polycarbonate body is supplied ready for trimming and painting, and the vinyl sticker sheet gives authentic markings. LED light buckets are included so you can add lights later for night-time running or display presentation.
The Tamiya 58557 Unimog 406 Wheelie is a rewarding build for model makers and RC drivers who appreciate a balance between scale style and stunt capability. Its combintion of durability and customisation potential makes it a versatile model.
