The Tamiya 47370 - 1/10 Isuzu Mu Type X CC-01 recalls the mid-90s off-road styling with an injection-molded body mounted on the hardy CC-01 platform. First released in November 1995 and sold under names like Frontera Sport and Amigo, the original Mu Type X is reflected here in a kit that balances period looks with parts engineered for straightforward upkeep.
The CC-01 is built for mixed-surface running, using a full-time 4WD setup driven by a motor installed longitudinally. Power is routed to the front via a gearbox and to the rear through a propeller shaft, while front and rear differentials smooth cornering. Builders can opt to lock the rear differential during assembly to boost traction on rough ground. The front suspension uses double wishbone geometry with upper single links and lower H-shaped arms, backed by a rigid rear layout and four CVA oil dampers for competent damping on bumps.
Assembling the Tamiya 47370 is approachable thanks to logically grouped parts and clear instructions, making it a good fit for newcomers and experienced builders alike. Once complete, the model handles predictably both on street and trail, its realistic shell and dependable chassis delivering a satisfying vintage driving feel.
The Tamiya 47370 - 1/10 Isuzu Mu Type X CC-01 is well suited to collectors and club racers who value a period-correct body combined with a serviceable, long-lived chassis.
