Classic DTM Replica for On-Road Enthusiasts

The Tamiya 58317 CLK-DTM 2002 AMG-Mercedes captures the look of a DTM-era racer at 1/10 scale. Mounted on the TB-02 chassis, this kit mirrors the aerodynamic lines and race posture of the original AMG-Mercedes campaigned around the early 2000s.

TB-02 Chassis Focused on Handling

The TB-02 is prized for its stable bathtub frame that helps control body roll on paved surfaces. Fitted with double wishbone suspension, oil-filled dampers and an aluminium propeller shaft, it gives tunable handling for track sessions. Front and rear ball differentials and turn-buckle upper arms allow precise setup adjustments.

Authentic Styling with Track-Oriented Drive

The model sports a dark finish and a prominent rear wing that reflect its racing inspiration. Power is laid out longitudinally with a shaft-driven 4WD system and the included RS-540 motor, delivering the traction and balance suited to club racing and scale meets.

Do I need special tools to build the kit?

Basic modeller tools, a small screwdriver set, side cutters and a hobby knife are sufficient; a small hex wrench set is useful for final setup.

What maintenance should I expect after running?

Regular checks of driveshafts, diff oil condition and damper seals are recommended to keep handling consistent and prevent wear.

Are hop-ups available to improve handling?

Yes, options like stiffer dampers, aluminium turnbuckles and different diff oils are common upgrades to refine balance and responsiveness.
