The Tamiya 58379 captures the look of the Vodafone AMG-Mercedes C-Class from the 2006 DTM season in a compact 1/10 scale package. Its red and black race livery and detailed decals give a realistic on-track presence, while the TT-01 underpinnings keep the platform accessible for drivers of varied skill levels.
At the centre of this model is the TT-01 chassis, a shaft-driven 4WD design prized for reliability. The bathtub style frame aids stability and balance, and the supplied Type 540 motor provides consistent, predictable acceleration. Independent double wishbone suspension helps maintain traction through corners.
The pre-painted polycarbonate body and full decal set remove the need for painting while preserving authentic details. Supplied racing slick tyres and the TEU-101 BK ESC let you get on track quickly. If you want more speed or sharper handling, a range of hop-up parts is available to tailor the Tamiya 58379 to your preferences.
Driven by Bernd Schneider in competition, the Vodafone AMG-Mercedes C-Class notched wins at circuits such as Hockenheimring and Euro Speedway. Owning the Tamiya 58379 is a way to enjoy that touring car heritage and develop your driving technique.
The Tamiya 58379 is suited to hobbyists who want a race-accurate shell with an easy-to-manage chassis. It is forgiving for new drivers yet offers upgrade paths for more serious lap chasing.
