Tamiya 58279 TA04 Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM 1/10 On-Road Kit  [58279]

Hands-On with the Tamiya 58279 CLK DTM Kit

The Tamiya 58279 reproduces the Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM as a 1/10 on-road kit built around the TA04 chassis. This model is aimed at hobbyists and racers who appreciate careful engineering and realistic race livery.

Drive and Chassis Characteristics

The TA04 delivers stable handling through its durable construction and a 2-belt 4WD drive layout that shares torque evenly. Full ball bearings are included to lower mechanical resistance and keep the drivetrain turning freely under load.

Adjustable Geometry for Track Work

Turnbuckle shafts make it easy to change toe and camber settings without major disassembly, allowing you to tune the car for faster lap times or a steadier feel on different circuits.

Scale Livery and Detailing

The CLK DTM is an iconic touring car, and this kit mirrors its competition look with a polycarbonate body and a decal set that captures key visual details for display or club racing.

With its combination of scale detail and a tunable TA04 platform, the Tamiya 58279 CLK DTM is a solid choice for builders who split time between track testing and display.
