Tamiya 58629 MF-01X Mercedes-Benz G 320 Cabrio Overview

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is celebrated for rugged longevity and genuine off-road character. First introduced in 1979, the G model has kept its formidable reputation through multiple generations. The two-door G 320 Cabrio, made between 1997 and 2001, is noted for its classic silhouette and balanced performance, and Tamiya recreates this character at 1/10 scale on the MF-01X platform.

MF-01X Chassis Performance

The MF-01X chassis is built to handle both street and light off-road running. A sturdy monocoque frame houses integrated gearboxes to boost rigidity. Power from the rear-mounted 540-type motor drives the rear via gearbox gearing while a propeller shaft transfers drive to the front, delivering predictable 4WD traction across varied surfaces.

Adjustable Layout and Handling

This chassis stands out for setup flexibility. You can change the wheelbase between 210mm and 239mm using central spacer blocks and optional propeller shafts to suit scale appearance or handling preference. Four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension with friction dampers gives stable control for newcomers and experienced builders alike.

The Tamiya 58629 MF-01X Mercedes-Benz G 320 Cabrio is a solid option for hobbyists who value scale detail and a chassis that adapts to different driving styles. It suits those starting out and builders who want a dependable platform for upgrades.
