Tamiya 58692 1/10 RC Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 Series U900 (CC-02)

A faithful friend

The Mercedes-Benz Unimog name is an acronym of the German "Universal-Motor-Ger?t"; this R/C model assembly kit recreates the 406 Series vehicle that was a hit since its debut in 1963. A polycarbonate body recreates the distinctive form with curved hood and round headlights, with a separate metal-plated depiction of the front grille for extra realism, plus separately molded side mirrors and air intake.

CC-02 Chassis - Off Road, Evolved

Designed for a wide range of off-road scenes including rocky terrain, the CC-02 chassis' ladder frame is inspired by full-size vehicles and is the base for its superior durability. A 4WD setup employs the motor longitudinally behind the front axle with separated gearbox and transfer case, and propeller shafts transmitting power to the differential gears front and rear. Four-link rigid suspension is employed front and rear, with CVA oil dampers for all-encompassing control, even on tricky rock sections. This model comes with eye-catching red dish wheels and grippy block pattern tires.

Features

• The boxy, utilitarian design is captured in style by a polycarbonate body and separate lower sections.
• A metal-plated grille ensures that the front of the body also has a highly realistic appearance.
• Separately molded parts are employed to depict side mirrors and distintive stalks, plus air intake.
• This image goes close up on the lower section of the body, captured by separate polycarbonate parts.
• The ladder frame is modeled upon those employed by full-size cars, and offers excellent rigidity on this 1/10 scale vehicle.
• The motor is mounted in the chassis front-middle; power goes via gearbox and propeller shafts to front and rear axles.
• Metal chassis frame sections facilitate exemplary durability, while CVA oil dampers ensure maximum off-road performance.
