Classic DTM Replica: Tamiya 58433 Mercedes AMG C-Class

The No.6 Mercedes C-Class raced by Bernd Schneider made its mark in the 2008 DTM season with notable results at circuits including the Nurburgring and a podium finish in Spain. The Tamiya 58433 kit recreates that race car as a 1/10 scale R/C model for hobbyists to assemble and run.

Accurate Polycarbonate Bodywork

Tamiya 58433's polycarbonate shell captures the race car's aerodynamic curves and aggressive lines. With precise trimming and paintwork, the finished body presents an authentic race-ready appearance.

TT-01 Type-E Chassis and Handling

The TT-01 Type-E chassis at the core of this kit uses a shaft-driven 4WD system that provides balanced handling and dependable drive. The supplied racing slick tyres suit clean, paved surfaces and help deliver consistent lap times.

Lighting Equipment and Options

Two white and two red LEDs are included for added realism in lower light. The TLU-01 LED Light Unit comes with the kit, and the optional TLU-02 controller can be purchased to expand lighting control to more LEDs.

Personalisation and Upgrades

There are many Tamiya option parts available to fine-tune performance or durability, from higher-spec motors to precision bearings and suspension tweaks, allowing a build to evolve with experience.

Tamiya 58433 works well for builders who like period race cars and enjoy upgrading over time. It provides a solid baseline for casual runs, club racing, or display.

Basic modelling tools, hobby knife, side cutters and screwdrivers are sufficient. A craft paint setup and a polycarbonate-specific paint will help get the best finish on the body.
Steering geometry can be tuned with different servo arms and link lengths, plus optional suspension parts. Small changes can noticeably tighten turn-in and reduce understeer.
Clean tyres and chassis after each session, check screws for tightness, and periodically inspect drive shafts and bearings for wear to keep performance consistent.
Yes, once the body is trimmed and primed you can apply aftermarket decals. Use decal setting solutions and seal with a clear coat suitable for polycarbonate finishes.
