Classic Unimog Character in the Tamiya 58557 Model

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.

Why the CW01 Works Well

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.

Scaled Off-Road Ability and Character

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.

Custom Finishes and Lighting Ready

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.

Ordered and received my RC car, transmitter, battery and several hot-up items in very fast time and with no postage damage. Slight overlook on the packing with 2 duplicate items being missed. After contacting RCJAZ witht he issue they quickly corrected
Yes, it is suitable for newcomers who have basic modelling skills; the assembly is straightforward and parts are well organised.
A 7.2V battery pack, compatible charger, a quality transmitter, receiver and a standard servo are required to make the model operational.
While intended for fun and scale appeal, modest upgrades to the drivetrain and suspension can make it suitable for light club events or fun runs.
The kit contains LED light buckets but not the LEDs themselves, so you will need to source small LEDs if you want working lights.
