DTM racing has a long tradition of technical, race-ready cars and Tamiya pays homage with the 57791 XB DTM 08 Teile. This 1/10 scale reproduction of the Mercedes AMG C-Class 2008, associated with driver B. Schneider, combines faithful exterior detail with the practical TT-01E drivetrain layout.
The kit includes a carefully formed polycarbonate body that reflects the aggressive aero of the original, and the racing livery is reproduced to maintain period accuracy. LED fittings recreate head and tail lamp effects for added realism when running on track or showing the car.
The Expert Built unit is delivered pre-assembled with essential R/C gear and the wheel-trigger transmitter in place. A battery pack and charger are supplied for Japan, however international buyers may need to source suitable power accessories locally. That said, the bulk of the assembly work is handled, making it quick to get running.
The TT-01E bathtub frame offers a dependable foundation, with a shaft-driven full-time 4WD system and a low centre of gravity for predictable handling. Key elements like fibreglass-reinforced nylon components and a 3-piece tie rod enhance toughness, while the double wishbone suspension and front and rear 3-bevel differentials help manage traction. An ESC with forward and reverse is included for throttle precision.
The Tamiya 57791 XB DTM 08 Teile makes a strong choice for enthusiasts wanting an out-of-the-box DTM replica that still allows straightforward upgrades and maintenance.
