Inspection of the Tamiya 51196 C-Class DTM 2004 Body

The Tamiya 51196 - 1/10 Mercedes-Benz C-Class DTM 2004 Finished Body Set reproduces the aggressive DTM shape from 2004 with clear scale cues. It is aimed at builders who want a ready-to-fit race style shell.

Durability and Ready-to-Run Attributes

Delivering a pre-finished surface, this 1/10 body reduces prep time and mounts directly after basic trimming. Constructed from resilient polycarbonate, it handles everyday track impacts and looks sharp on the pit table.

Which Chassis It Suits

Compatible with many 1/10 on-road chassis, the body allows for various mounting setups and setup tweaks. It suits drivers focused on club racing as well as those assembling a display-quality model.

How much trimming is normally needed for fitment?

Most users perform only light trimming around wheel arches and mounting points. Exact work depends on your chassis wheelbase and tyre size, so dry-fit first.

Is the body polycarbonate thickness suitable for racing?

The shell uses standard hobby polycarbonate thickness that balances weight and durability for club racing. Reinforce stress areas if you race on rough surfaces often.

Can I remove or replace the decals?

Yes. Decals can be removed carefully with decal solvent and replaced with custom graphics, but test solvents on a small area first to protect the finish.

What storage tips keep the finish looking new?

Store the body away from direct sunlight, avoid stacking heavy items on top, and clean with mild soapy water to preserve the painted surface.
