Historic Touring Car Style for Hobby Builders

The Tamiya 58491 captures the aggressive lines of the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II in a scale kit that balances display appeal and runnability. It is a good fit for pilots who value authentic looks and a chassis that can be personalised.

TT01E: User-Friendly Chassis with 4WD Stability

The TT01E chassis keeps assembly straightforward while delivering stable handling characteristics on sealed surfaces. The shaft-driven four wheel drive gives predictable traction and the independent double wishbone suspension helps the car stay planted through corners. Sealed differentials front and rear reduce gear wear during regular use.

Precision Moulding and Finish Options

The polycarbonate body is shaped to reflect the real car, and separate ABS pieces allow for crisp details like mirrors and the rear wing. The addition of a metal-look badge gives the model a refined presentation once painted and trimmed.

The Tamiya 58491 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II is a rewarding project for builders who want a scale-accurate shell on a tolerant chassis that responds well to tuning.

Enthusiasts often fit stronger shocks, metal turnbuckles, and higher torque servos, plus brushless motors and improved tyres to lift on-track performance.
Yes, the kit includes illustrated assembly directions that guide you through chassis build, drivetrain fitting and body preparation steps.
Pavement or carpet race tyres matched to the wheel offset work best; many builders try different compounds to find a balance between grip and longevity.
Polycarbonate paints are recommended and the body responds well to masking and multiple thin coats for a professional finish.
