Mercedes-Benz CLK-DTM Recreated for Model Racers

The Tamiya 58310 brings the iconic CLK-DTM into 1/10 scale with a clear polycarbonate body and the TB-02 chassis architecture. The kit recreates the classic AMG-Mercedes look while providing a robust platform for tuning and race preparation.

Overview of the TB-02 Race Chassis

The TB-02 chassis uses a low-profile bathtub frame to keep roll under control and features double wishbone suspension with oil-filled C.V.A. dampers for predictable handling. Durable components like the aluminium prop shaft and ball differentials make it resilient for regular track use.

Drivetrain and Steering Components

A longitudinal motor location combined with shaft-driven 4WD ensures consistent traction across corners. Precise steering adjustments are possible thanks to the high-torque servo saver and turn-buckle upper arms, which help fine tune response for race conditions.

With authentic styling and a capable TB-02 chassis, the Tamiya 58310 is a rewarding build for hobbyists who want an accurate DTM replica that also performs on the track.

Basic hobby tools are sufficient: a small driver set, hobby knife, side cutters, pliers, and paint supplies for the polycarbonate shell. A stand or jig helps for precise body paint work.
Adjust camber, toe, and ride height along with damper oil weight to tune understeer or oversteer. Small changes to tyre choice also have a big impact on lap times.
Masking and using polycarbonate-specific paints make the job manageable; thin coats and proper curing yield the best results. Follow the body trimming guide in the instructions.
Yes, with suitable motor mounts and an ESC that fits the battery tray and wiring layout, many builders upgrade to brushless systems for higher efficiency and power.
Replacement slick tyres and compatible wheels are sold through RC shops and online stores; check tyre width and diameter to match the original specification for correct handling.
