Mercedes CLK DTM 2000 Rendered as a Tunable RC Model

The Tamiya 44028 - 1/10 GP TG10 Mercedes CLK DTM 2000 recreates the race car attitude in a scale kit that prioritises realistic form and adjustable performance. The combination of a faithful body and nitro propulsion makes for engaging track sessions once assembled.

About the FS-12LT Glow Engine

The FS-12LT provides the package with a dependable nitro source that responds predictably to needle adjustments. It produces the familiar exhaust note and provides linear power suitable for circuit driving.

Chassis Design: TG10-Mk.1 Layout

The TG10-Mk.1 uses a 2.5mm duralumin main plate in a double-deck arrangement to achieve rigidity without undue mass. Four independent double wishbones deliver precise wheel control and consistent handling feedback.

Body Detail and Scale Proportions

The polycarbonate body faithfully reflects the CLK DTM 2000 profile and integrates with mounting points for tidy presentation. With a 257mm wheelbase and an overall weight of about 1650g, the model balances scale realism and track capability.

The kit is aimed at model drivers who enjoy setup work and a hands-on assembly. The Tamiya 44028 - 1/10 GP TG10 Mercedes CLK DTM 2000 delivers an authentic nitro GT experience when properly built and tuned.

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the air filter, checking glow plug condition, and routine engine tuning to maintain peak performance and longevity.
While possible in theory, converting this TG10 nitro kit to electric would require significant modifications to motor mounts, battery placement and gearing, so it is not a straightforward swap.
Medium compound slicks or semi-slicks matched to the wheel width specified will give a good compromise between grip and durability on typical club circuits.
Painting and trimming a polycarbonate shell requires care but is standard practice; use low-tack masking, thin coats of polycarbonate paint and patience for best results.
