Authentic DTM Replica with Nitro Heart

The Tamiya 43531 - 1/10 Nitro R/C Car Vodafone AMG-Mercedes C-Class DTM 2006 captures the race car driven by Bernd Schneider in 2006, reproducing its distinctive red and black livery. The shell reflects the period correct styling so hobbyists can display or run a convincing DTM machine.

Inside the TNS-FD Platform

The TNS-FD platform is built to keep the car rigid under load. A 2.5mm aluminum lower deck works with a reinforced resin upper deck to control flex during high cornering loads. Propulsion is handled by the FS-12FD 2.1cc engine, which sends torque through differential-equipped gearboxes to the shaft-driven full-time 4WD drivetrain.

Handling Traits and Brake Setup

Designed for predictable handling, the kit uses four-wheel double wishbone suspension with oil dampers to tune tyre contact and response. A substantial disc brake lets drivers manage speed into corners and adjust downforce setup without losing control.

Collectors and track enthusiasts will appreciate the Tamiya 43531 for its faithful livery and practical chassis design, which together create a convincing, run-ready DTM replica.

Basic hobby tools such as drivers, pliers and a glue for the polycarbonate are required, plus tuning tools for the FS-12FD engine if you plan to run it at optimum performance.
Use medium compound tyres matched to the 27/65mm size for a balance between grip and wear on typical track surfaces; softer compounds suit smooth asphalt while harder compounds last longer on rougher layouts.
This is a kit type model that requires assembly and separate purchase of radio gear and starter items; some mechanical setup and engine tuning will be needed before first runs.
Use a clear protective film or spray compatible with polycarbonate bodies and avoid abrasive cleaners; wash with mild soap and dry gently after outdoor use to preserve the livery.
