Many guys buy them only for the body, and then put the cab and box onto a higher quality chassis. From what I've read the Dickie/Tamiya Unimog chassis is toy-like, and looks just like the one in the link you provided.

If anyone knows where I can buy one of these models brand new, in the USA, please share. I would really, really like to have one.

As for a US dealer for Carson or Dicki-Tamiya you need to contact Ric – Gardentrucking , he could order that for you . I used to deal with Carson years ago but gave that up to Ric . But be aware , this new one is pricy , goes for average $ 185,- Euro in Germany .
The other option would be ebay , you see the older version ( simple 27mhz R/C system ) showing up once in a while , or even German ebay .
And here again , anything you guys want from Germany , it’s no problem for me getting these items , in most cases it’s just a costly deal , shipping and such .
But back to the Carson stuff , anything you see on Carson’s site Ric can order that .
I still order stuff from Germany all the time , either I contact the manufactures directly or have one of my buddies get me the stuff and ship it over .
Andy from Truckmodellsport Hafner used to carry them too , I just checked his site ,
but non on there at the moment . But Hafner carries also other Unmiog style bodies .
As you wrote Nathan , that is a preferred body for the trial-trucker guys .
And yes , the undercarridge is done fairly cheap . Not sure about the new one with the 2.4Ghz R/C system , haven’t seen any detailed photos of that one yet .
