The HMMWV, commonly called the Hummer, has been a versatile workhorse since the 1980s. Tamiya captures that legacy with the 58154 1/12 M1025 Hummer model, mounted on the TA01/02 chassis to reproduce the vehicle's proportions and rugged stance in RC form.
The TA01/02 platform is known for robust construction and consistent handling. Its shaft-driven full-time 4WD delivers traction on mixed surfaces while the bathtub-style frame made from high-grade engineering plastic supports double wishbone suspension and oil-filled shock absorbers for controlled travel and stability.
The molded body shell is produced in impact-resistant resin to match scale contours and tolerate active use. Olive drab paintwork and semi-pneumatic lug-pattern tires recreate the military look while black plastic rims complement the chunky tread for practical off-road grip and a convincing aesthetic.
Built around a 540-type motor, the kit balances torque and efficiency. Use a 2-channel radio with two servos for steering and throttle, and fit a 6-cell flat battery pack since a 7-cell will not fit inside the chassis. Assembly requires basic modelling tools and paint so builders can personalise finishes and details.
Tamiya 58154 M1025 Hummer combines authentic scale detail with the dependable TA01/02 chassis, making it a solid pick for model builders and trail-running RC hobbyists who want a realistic military off-roader.
