Heritage Model: Tamiya 58318 Mercedes-Benz Recreated on TT-01

The Tamiya 58318 reproduces the Team Vodafone AMG-Mercedes livery and mounts it on the adaptable TT-01 platform. The TT-01 is favoured for its tidy layout and easy access for upgrades, making it a popular base for custom builds.

Racing Background Overview

The real Team Vodafone AMG-Mercedes enjoyed notable success in DTM, grabbing titles in 2000 and 2001 and returning to form in 2003. This kit reflects that era and appeals to scale racing enthusiasts.

Practical Design with Good Drive

The TT-01 delivers dependable handling thanks to a four-wheel shaft drive and a standard 540 motor. Builders will find the chassis straightforward to work on while being robust enough for club runs.

Upgrade-Friendly Chassis

Owners can fit an array of optional parts to refine handling or increase speed. From gearing changes to upgraded electronics, the TT-01 makes modifications simple to test on track.

The Tamiya 58318 on TT-01 suits hobbyists who value a straightforward build and a platform that responds well to tuning and parts swaps.

Yes, the TT-01 is stable and predictable on paved circuits, making it a solid option for practice laps and club meets.
The shaft drive and planetary gears are durable for moderate upgrades, but high-power setups may require reinforced parts or tuning of the drivetrain.
Spare TT-01 components and hop-ups are widely available from hobby shops and online, letting you repair or modify the car without long delays.
This is a kit, so radio gear, battery and charger are not included and must be installed to make the car operational.
