Tamiya 58351 Mercedes-Benz C11 1/10 Race Replica RC  [58351]

Scale Replica of a Prototype Race Car

The Tamiya 58351 celebrates the Mercedes-Benz C11 that competed in the 1990 World Sports Prototype Championship. The full-scale car was known for its aerodynamic efficiency and a stiff carbon composite monocoque, powered by a rear-mounted 5-liter V8 twin-turbo. This RC captures the shape and spirit of that racing icon.

Accurate Shell and Strong Frame

The Tamiya 58351 includes a carefully shaped polycarbonate body that reproduces the C11 silhouette, supplied pre-painted with authentic style markings. The compact bathtub and space frame chassis provide a rigid platform, and the shaft-driven ball differential helps maintain consistent drive through varying corner loads.

Road-Holding and Suspension Setup

The front suspension uses independent coil springs while the rear employs a 3P arrangement with CVA dampers, delivering a low, stable posture for fast on-road running. Sponge tyres with recreated Goodyear branding complete the period-correct setup and deliver expected traction.

The Tamiya 58351 Mercedes-Benz C11 is a strong choice for racers and collectors seeking an evocative on-road model that balances historic detail with tunable handling features.
