Classic G-Class Cabriolet Recreated for RC Fans

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has stood for rugged luxury since 1979, and the two-door G 320 Cabriolet from 1997 to 2001 captures that mix of style and off-road ability. Tamiya has recreated the look and attitude in the 58629-60A radio control kit built on the versatile 4WD MF-01X platform.

MF-01X Layout for Mixed-Surface Driving

The MF-01X chassis is engineered to perform on both sealed surfaces and light trails. A robust monocoque frame houses the gearboxes and a rear-mounted motor for a compact drivetrain layout. Power is sent rearward through a gear-driven system while a propeller shaft drives the front; both front and rear gearboxes include differential gears to help with cornering and traction control.

Balance, Suspension and Realistic Tyres

Batteries mount centrally to keep the model balanced and stable. The 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension with friction dampers soaks up irregular surfaces for predictable handling. Semi-pneumatic rubber tyres feature authentic tread patterns to reinforce scale appearance while providing usable grip.

Wheelbase Flexibility and Upgrade Paths

The MF-01X supports short, medium or long wheelbases using the supplied central spacer blocks and optional propeller shafts for 210mm, 225mm or 239mm setups. The kit includes M-05Ra uprights and hub carriers, and serious tuners can refine rebound and stiffness with Item 54614 M-05 Ver.II Carbon Reinforced L parts.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drive-train: 4WD
  • Suspension: Fully independent double wishbone
  • Chassis Type: Assembly kit
  • Motor: 540-brushed type
  • Electronic Speed Control (ESC): Not Included
  • Adjustable Wheelbase: Yes
  • Battery: Center-mounted for balance

The Tamiya G 320 Cabriolet on the MF-01X chassis is a flexible choice for modders and collectors who want a scale look and room to tune handling for both road and light off-road driving.

It is approachable for a hobbyist with basic assembly skills, though newcomers should expect to follow detailed instructions and set up their own radio gear and motor since the ESC is not included.
The chassis is tuned for sealed surfaces and flat dirt or compacted gravel; it handles light off-road trails but is not aimed at heavy rock crawling or deep sand.
Switching between the included 210mm, 225mm and 239mm wheelbase settings is straightforward using the supplied spacer blocks and optional shafts, requiring basic tools and patience.
Start with stiffer propeller shafts and improved dampers or carbon reinforced components like Item 54614 to reduce flex and sharpen rebound control; keeping weight low and centered also helps handling.
