Tamiya 58414 1/10 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 U900 CR-01 Crawler Kit  [58414]

Tackle Technical Lines with the Tamiya 58414 Unimog on CR-01

For tackling tight rock gardens and rough trails, the Tamiya 58414 1/10 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 U900 on the CR-01 chassis mixes classic truck styling with purpose-built crawling capability. The scale body and chassis work together to deliver a realistic, playable model for experienced hobbyists.

Robust Ladder Frame and Suspension

The CR-01 ladder frame uses strong aluminum channels and resin cross members to stand up to demanding off-road use. Its 4-link suspension with a stabilizer gives wide articulation and the clearance needed to maintain traction over obstacles.

Balanced Powertrain for Steady Torque

A centrally mounted 540 motor drives all four wheels via expandable prop shafts and a planetary center gearbox, keeping the center of gravity low. With a 40.5:1 gear ratio, the drivetrain is optimised for controlled, high-torque crawling rather than speed.

Scale Wheels and Aggressive Tires

Big 125mm rock crawler tires provide the bite required on rough rock and loose surfaces, and the new 3-piece beadlock wheels keep the tyres secure under load. The realistic ladder frame appearance adds to scale authenticity while improving durability.

Upgrade Options and Required Electronics

Builders can add TLU-01 LED lights (ITEM 53909) for night runs. This kit needs a 2-channel radio with one servo, paint and assembly. For motor control, the TEU-302BK ESC is recommended over the TEU-101BK for better handling of crawling demands.

The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 U900 CR-01 kit is a strong choice for enthusiasts focused on scale realism and technical crawling challenges.
