DTM Replica for Hobbyists: Tamiya 57719 AMG Mercedes CLK-DTM 2002

The Tamiya 57719 brings the AMG Mercedes CLK-DTM 2002 to the RC scale, reflecting the car raced by Jean Alesi with accurate graphics and proportions. It is tailored for hobbyists who want period authenticity combined with a workmanlike chassis.

Why the TT-01 Is a Practical Choice

The TT-01 chassis is prized for its simple build and predictable on-track behavior. Its compact design and resin drive components reduce weight and complexity, making setup and repairs straightforward during club meets or casual practice sessions.

Fit, Finish and Mechanical Layout

The model uses a printed polycarbonate body mounted on an ABS tub chassis, backed by independent suspension on each wheel. The shaft-drive layout and a standard 540 electric motor deliver steady acceleration and make drivetrain servicing simple.

The Tamiya 57719 is a practical entry into touring car replicas, offering a solid baseline for tuning and upgrades while preserving authentic DTM styling.

How hard is it to tune the TT-01 for handling?

Basic adjustments like shock mounting position, ride height and toe will noticeably change handling; the TT-01 responds well to simple tuning steps.

Are tyres included or do I need to buy separate sets?

Standard tyres fitted to the kit are suitable for many surfaces, but you can swap to specialist compound tyres for improved grip at the track.

Which upgrades give the biggest performance gains?

Upgrading to a brushless motor and higher performance ESC, along with stiffer suspension parts, typically yields the most noticeable improvements.

Is this model good for display as well as driving?

Yes, the printed polycarbonate body and detailed livery make it suitable for display, while the TT-01 chassis keeps it runnable on the track.
