Clear 1/10 Audi A4 DTM 2005 touring car body

The clear 1/10-scale shell captures the Audi A4 DTM 2005 lines and detailing for fitting to supported on-road touring car chassis. Supplied unpainted, the body is intended for trimming, mounting and lexan painting so you can set up appearance and clearance to suit driving needs.

Standard lexan trimming applies: mark mount locations on the shell, trim arches to clear tyres, and cut where steering or suspension require extra space. The sculpted mirrors and rear wing from the 2005 A4 are retained for scale accuracy. Mounting hardware and paints are not part of the kit.

Functionally, the shell contributes to the car's scale look and aerodynamic balance, affecting airflow and arch clearance. Always test-fit the shell on your specific chassis from the compatibility list below prior to painting and final attachment.

Specifications

  • Item Body set
  • Material Clear body (unpainted)
  • Model Number 51222

Mask and paint with polycarbonate-specific products after verifying trims and mount points. Trial-fit and clearance checks will ensure consistent handling and proper finish.

The shell influences airflow and arch clearance, so final trimming and mounting height can change understeer/oversteer characteristics. Use incremental adjustments when setting ride height and mount positions.
Clean the shell with isopropyl alcohol or a mild detergent, remove any mold release, and mask areas before applying polycarbonate paint in thin layers.
The rear wing profile is part of the shell; mounting may require trimming or custom brackets depending on your chassis and preferred wing height.
Confirm your TA04 is not a short wheelbase variant, as those are excluded. Measure wheelbase and arch positions and trial-fit before committing to permanent trims.
Apply multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat to retain fine details like mirrors and wing lines; allow sufficient dry time between coats for best results.
