Tamiya 43520 1/10 Nitro Mercedes-Benz C-Class DTM 2004 RTR Touring Edition  [43520]

Authentic Touring Car Feel in 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya 43520 Nitro Mercedes-Benz C-Class DTM 2004 gives hobbyists a realistic touring car platform that balances scale detail with tunable driving dynamics. Its nitro engine and proven TNS underpinnings are geared toward hobbyists who enjoy setup work and track time.

Race Inspired Livery

This model reproduces the Mercedes C-Class DTM 2004 race look, including the metallic No. 8 livery associated with AMG Mercedes and Jean Alesi. The body is pre-painted to retain visual fidelity while remaining resilient during normal track use.

Robust Chassis and Engine Layout

The TNS layout combines an aluminium lower deck with a strong plastic upper deck for a stable platform. Propulsion is from the OS FS-12SW engine using a dual needle carburetor and recoil starter. Independent double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers help tame high-speed corners.

Tuneability and Parts Compatibility

With a sealed differential and shaft-driven 4WD, the model provides consistent traction and is ready for option parts. It is compatible with TG10-Mk.1 upgrades for those who want to refine balance, gearing or response.

The Tamiya 43520 is aimed at experienced modellers and drivers who want a nitro-powered, tunable on-road car that keeps strong visual detail and upgrade scope.
