Scale DTM Racing with the Tamiya 43531 Nitro Kit

The Tamiya 43531 - 1/10 Nitro R/C Car Vodafone AMG-Mercedes C-Class DTM 2006 faithfully echoes the competition car raced by Bernd Schneider in 2006, including its recognizable red and black livery. The model aims to provide both display quality and functional racing lines when set up correctly.

TNS-FD Chassis Engineering

The robust TNS-FD platform underpins the model, featuring a 2.5mm aluminum lower deck paired with a reinforced resin upper deck to reduce unwanted flex. Propulsion is provided by the FS-12FD 2.1cc engine, with power routed through differentials into a shaft-driven full-time 4WD arrangement for steady traction.

Suspension Dynamics and Braking

Handling is tuned through four-wheel double wishbone suspension fitted with oil dampers to control body motion and tyre contact. The sizable disc brake gives the vehicle controlled stopping power that matches its nitro acceleration.

Assembly requires patience and basic modelling skills; mechanical experience helps when installing the engine, setting up the drivetrain and tuning the suspension for track use.

Yes, there are upgrade options for suspension, brakes and drivetrain components that can improve durability and handling; check official Tamiya hop-up listings for compatible parts.
