The 2008 Mercedes C-Class campaigned by Bernd Schneider left a distinct mark on that DTM season, delivering strong results at venues like the Nurburgring and Spain. Tamiya 58433 turns that race pedigree into a 1/10 scale R/C assembly kit that hobbyists can build, paint, and run.
The model's polycarbonate body reproduces the contours and aerodynamic touches of the real AMG DTM car. The accurate silhouette and clean surface detail make it an attractive piece for display or on-track appearances after trimming and paint.
Powered by the TT-01 Type-E platform, this kit uses a shaft-driven 4WD configuration that is well known for stable handling and durability. The package includes racing slick tyres geared toward smooth surfaces and club circuits.
Included are two white and two red LEDs to add functional lights for dusk runs. The kit provides the TLU-01 LED Light Unit, and enthusiasts can add the optional TLU-02 controller to manage larger LED setups.
Tamiya's catalogue of option parts lets builders upgrade motors, bearings, and suspension components to tune handling or increase performance, supporting a range of driving preferences.
Tamiya 58433 is suitable for modellers who enjoy accurate replicas and hands-on tuning. It provides a platform that can be kept stock for casual runs or progressively upgraded for club racing.
