Wheelie-Ready Fun on the CW-01 Chassis
The CW-01 chassis is renowned for its robust design, tailored to deliver exciting wheelie performance. This 1/10 scale assembly kit provides a solid two-wheel drive system with a gear-driven drivetrain, ensuring durability and a responsive ride. The independent front suspension combined with the solid axle rear gives the Unimog a unique handling characteristic, allowing it to tackle diverse terrains effortlessly. The inclusion of a friction damper setup enhances its ability to absorb shocks, making it a joy to drive over rough surfaces.
Iconic Design Meets RC Engineering
One of the standout features of the Tamiya Unimog is its clear polycarbonate body, pre-painted in a vibrant yellow, capturing the essence of the original Mercedes-Benz model. This not only adds an aesthetic appeal but also provides a durable shell for the rigors of off-road adventures. While the kit requires assembly, the detailed instructions make it accessible for beginners, with opportunities for customization through decals and optional detailing like side mirrors.
Built for Adventure

The chevron-patterned rubber tires offer excellent grip on diverse surfaces, from gravel to grass.
