TL-01 Platform Details

The TL-01 chassis gives a stable and durable base that is straightforward to maintain. With a shaft-driven, full-time 4WD arrangement and protected sealed gearboxes front and rear, the driveline offers consistent traction and straightforward gear service when needed.

Chassis Dynamics and Motor Placement

Double wishbone suspension and friction dampers manage impacts while maintaining nimble cornering. The mid-mounted Type 540 motor supplies reliable forward drive and suits tuning for a variety of on-road venues.

Radio, Speed Control and Tuning Options

The kit includes a wheel-style Adspec GP transmitter for intuitive steering control. It arrives with a mechanical speed control but is commonly swapped for an electronic speed controller to improve throttle response. Builders can also change tyres and add hop-up parts to refine balance and grip.

The Tamiya 57710 - 1/10 XB Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM Team D blends authentic styling with a straightforward TL-01 chassis, ideal for modellers who want a period-correct racer that is also practical on the track.
