2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG 1/10 Scale Assembly Kit Tamiya 58722 for TT-02 Shaft-Driven 4WD  [58722]

TT-02 based Tamiya 58722 — 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG road-going race silhouette

The Tamiya 58722 kit models the 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG homologation silhouette on the TT-02 shaft-driven 4WD layout. The bodywork reflects a race-derived profile, featuring enlarged fenders and a substantial rear wing supplied without sponsor decals. This release is aimed at hobbyists who prize a sturdy, serviceable assembly and faithful scale appearance rather than extreme weight saving.

Chassis and mechanical character

The TT-02 chassis is a longitudinal, shaft-driven 4WD design that places the battery and motor on opposite sides for predictable straight-line behaviour. Symmetrical suspension components reduce spare part variety and simplify repairs, while the gearbox layout offers easy access for maintenance. Multiple wheelbase and ride-height settings plus varied gear ratio choices make the TT-02 a flexible platform for realistic on-road replicas.

Body, scale detail, and finishing

The kit includes a 1.0 mm polycarbonate body shaped to replicate the CLK AMG racing form, with extended arches and a pronounced rear wing. Mirrors and wing are separate parts to help with painting and masking. Window masks and decals are provided to reproduce the plain homologation finish. Wheel hubs and bumper mounts are executed to mirror functional race styling over decorative detail.

Suitability and intended audience

This kit is intended for hobbyists who favour durability and precise scale presentation. The TT-02 platform provides an approachable base for builders seeking a dependable, maintainable model with convincing track-inspired bodywork. It also suits collectors who prefer a clean, livery-free display piece.

What to expect from the build

The assembly experience prioritises clear construction and dependable mechanical layout rather than a race-focused, stripped-down package. Painting and trim assembly will strongly influence the final appearance, and the separate exterior parts permit a careful, stepwise finishing approach.

Tamiya 58722 reproduces the 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG homologation look on the TT-02 shaft-driven 4WD chassis, offering a build that balances durable construction with strong scale presence.
