TT-02 4WD Touring Car Kit 1/10 Tamiya 58722 - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG  [58722]

2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG on Tamiya TT-02 — model Tamiya 58722 overview

The Tamiya 58722 kit captures the 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG homologation silhouette mounted on the TT-02 shaft-driven 4WD chassis. The shell mirrors race proportions with widened arches and a large rear wing, supplied in an unbranded homologation style. The kit is aimed at modelers who want a reliable platform that is straightforward to assemble and simple to tune for on-road handling.

Chassis and mechanical character

The TT-02 chassis is a conventional longitudinal shaft-driven 4WD layout with the battery and motor offset to opposite sides to aid stable straight-line performance. Matching left and right suspension arms and uprights reduce inventory complexity and make setup repeatable, while the gearbox layout is practical for maintenance. The platform provides multiple wheelbase options, ride-height adjustments and a wide gear choice to suit scale-correct on-road tuning.

Body, scale detail, and finishing

The 1.0 mm polycarbonate body is shaped to reflect CLK AMG race lines, including extended wheel arches and a supportive rear wing. Separate mirrors and wing components make masking and painting more manageable. Window masks and a decal sheet are included to recreate the plain homologation finish. Wheel hubs and bumper supports adopt a functional styling that supports a realistic appearance.

Suitability and intended audience

This assembly kit suits hobbyists who enjoy setup work and incremental tuning on an approachable chassis. The TT-02 provides a stable, serviceable foundation for drivers who want to refine handling or maintain a scale-accurate road car replica.

What to expect from the build

The kit emphasises an orderly build process and reliable mechanical layout rather than a competition-grade, lightweight package. Final performance will depend on finishing choices and setup, with separate trim parts allowing detailed paint work and a controlled assembly sequence.

Tamiya 58722 reproduces the 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG appearance on a TT-02 shaft-driven 4WD chassis, providing a dependable base for builders who want to tune handling while keeping scale accuracy.
