Tamiya 58609 - Unimog 425 CC-01 Trail Kit  [58609]

Classic off-road heritage in the Tamiya 58609 Unimog 425

RC builders who like a mix of vintage character and capable trail performance will appreciate the Tamiya 58609 Mercedes Benz Unimog 425. As a 1/10 scale CC-01 kit, it recreates the rugged spirit of the original Unimog, a vehicle noted for its flexibility and tough off-road manners. The real Unimog earned a reputation in the 1970s and 1980s for a powerful 120hp unit and a 2.81m wheelbase that handled rough work.

Chassis built for cross-country fun

The CC-01 layout is popular because it is straightforward to assemble and performs well off-road. An independent front suspension combined with a rear 4-link solid axle gives a convincing ride and articulation. With 4WD and gear-type differentials, the drivetrain is tuned for reliable trail traction.

Scale-correct styling and finishes

The polycarbonate body captures the Unimog's boxy silhouette and practical fittings, including the tall snorkel, cap vent and mirrors. Chrome-look light housings and the Mercedes-Benz badge add scale realism, while the included LED lights help when running in low light.

Upgrade paths and tuning options

Owners can personalise this CC-01 chassis with more than 40 Hop-Up Options to change handling or durability. Adjustable ground clearance and gear choices let hobbyists tune performance from mild to more capable setups.

The Tamiya 58609 Mercedes Benz Unimog 425 balances authentic scale detail with a robust, tuneable chassis, making it a solid pick for collectors and trail drivers alike.
