Classic DTM Looks with Nitro Performance

The Tamiya 43531 - 1/10 Nitro R/C Car Vodafone AMG-Mercedes C-Class DTM 2006 pays tribute to the championship entry driven by Bernd Schneider in 2006, featuring the eye-catching red and black livery. The bodywork reproduces the race profile for authentic display or track presence.

What the TNS-FD Chassis Delivers

The TNS-FD chassis provides a stiff foundation with a 2.5mm aluminum lower deck and reinforced resin upper deck to resist flex under load. Power is supplied by the FS-12FD 2.1cc engine and distributed via differential gearboxes into a shaft-driven full-time 4WD system for consistent traction.

Driving Feel and Mechanical Layout

The suspension uses four-wheel double wishbones and oil dampers to fine tune handling and tyre contact. Braking is handled by a large disc that matches the car's acceleration, giving drivers controllable deceleration for close racing or spirited runs.

The Tamiya 43531 combines historic DTM styling with a thoughtfully engineered chassis, making it a strong choice for model collectors and nitro enthusiasts who value period detail and mechanical authenticity.

With careful setup and maintenance the model can be tuned for club events, but expect to invest time in suspension and engine tuning to match competitive lap times.
Regular cleaning of the exterior, careful needle setting and using recommended fuel blends will extend the life of the FS-12FD; follow break-in procedures for best results.
Changing pinion or spur gearing can alter top speed and acceleration, but ensure the engine and drivetrain can cope with higher loads and check temps during setup runs.
Stiffer anti roll settings, small damper valving changes and tyre compound choices can sharpen turn-in and mid corner grip; tune incrementally to find the best balance for your track.
