1/10-scale Audi A4 DTM 2005 clear body for on-road use

This clear 1/10-scale body recreates the Audi A4 DTM 2005 profile and detailing for fitting to supported on-road touring car chassis. The item is delivered as an unpainted lexan shell for users to trim, mount and paint to match scale appearance and personal setup preferences.

Follow normal lexan trimming steps: mark mounting post positions on the shell, trim wheel arches for tyre clearance, and open apertures for steering and suspension movement where necessary. The shell includes the 2005 A4 mirrors and rear wing detail; paints and mounting hardware must be sourced separately.

For setup the body serves both cosmetic and aerodynamic roles, modifying airflow and arch clearance. Check fit on the chassis types listed below before painting and mounting to ensure correct alignment and handling behaviour.

Specifications

  • Item Body set
  • Material Clear body (unpainted)
  • Model Number 51222
  • Compatibility TA05, TA04 excluding short wheelbase chassis, TT-01, TGS, TNS, TB-02, TB Evolution IV, TRF415

After verifying all mount points and clearances, use polycarbonate paints and careful masking to finish the shell. Trial-fitting before final paint will help ensure consistent handling and fit.

What checks should I perform before trimming?

Measure wheelbase against the shell, mark body post locations using the chassis as reference, and do a temporary fit to identify any arch or steering interference before cutting.

Will the mirrors and wing affect clearance?

Mirrors and the rear wing are part of the moulded shell; they are cosmetic but can require slight adjustment or trimming depending on your mounting method and chassis layout.

Can I use standard clips with this body?

Yes. Standard 1/10 touring car body posts and clips are used; the kit does not supply these items so fitment relies on typical hardware available to most racers.

Why is TA04 listed with exclusions?

Short wheelbase TA04 versions have different body mounting locations and wheel arch placement. The listing excludes short wheelbase variants, so confirm your chassis specification before trimming.

Any tips for final finishing?

Apply polycarbonate paint in light layers, protect freshly painted areas while curing, and perform a final trial-fit to ensure no rubbing or restriction before racing.
