Tamiya 58629-60A Mercedes-Benz G 320 Cabriolet 1/10 MF-01X Assembly Kit (ESC Not Included)  [58629-60A]

Scale Mercedes G 320 Cabriolet Rendered on a 4WD MF-01X Base

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class blends toughness and refinement, and the two-door G 320 Cabriolet of 1997-2001 captures that compact, capable character. Tamiya reproduces that model in the 58629-60A kit mounted on the multi-use MF-01X 4WD chassis.

Chassis Architecture for Balanced Performance

The MF-01X chassis aims to be flexible for both sealed surfaces and light off-road tracks. A sturdy monocoque frame integrates gearbox units and a rear-mounted motor for compact packaging. The drivetrain sends power to the rear via gears while a propeller shaft drives the front, and both gearboxes include differential gears to maintain traction and predictable steering.

Suspension Layout and Centre of Gravity

Center-mounted battery placement keeps the centre of gravity low and central for steady handling. The 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension paired with friction dampers smooths road irregularities. Semi-pneumatic rubber tyres with realistic tread finish the scale look while delivering practical grip.

Setup Choices and Performance Upgrades

The MF-01X supports three wheelbase settings at 210mm, 225mm and 239mm using the supplied spacer blocks and optional prop shafts. Included M-05Ra uprights and hub carriers provide a solid starting point, and Item 54614 M-05 Ver.II Carbon Reinforced L parts can be fitted to refine rebound characteristics.

The Tamiya G 320 Cabriolet on the MF-01X is a solid pick for modellers who want a faithful scale body with a chassis that responds well to setup and upgrades.
