Tamiya 84322 Unimog 406 U900 1/10 Wheelie Truck Kit (CW-01) Red  [84322]

Rugged Unimog spirit on the Tamiya CW-01

The Mercedes-Benz Unimog has a reputation for handling tough work, and the Tamiya 84322 recreates that by fitting the Unimog body to the CW-01 chassis. This setup delivers a scale look and a platform tuned for wheelie tricks across mixed surfaces.

Why the CW-01 excels at wheelies

The CW-01 platform is popular with RC fans who like stunt driving. Its 2WD layout and solid rear axle give predictable weight transfer for pulling the front end up, while the friction damper and chevron rubber tyres help keep launches consistent on both paved and loose surfaces.

The Unimog heritage in miniature

The full-size Mercedes-Benz Unimog is built for demanding jobs, and this 1/10 model channels that heritage into a compact hobby truck. It works well for trail runs, park sessions, or display thanks to an authentic silhouette and functional chassis behaviour.

Practical setup advice for CW-01 users

New builders should consider replacing plastic bushings with ball bearings to reduce friction. While the stock friction dampers are adequate, oil shocks will noticeably improve control on rough ground. Pair a reliable 7.2V pack with the included TEU-105BK ESC for steady power delivery.

The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Unimog on the CW-01 is a fun mix of scale realism and stunt-friendly behaviour, making it a solid choice for collectors and active RC builders who enjoy customizing performance.
