The DTM scene is known for its technical cars and historic rivalries, and Tamiya honours that with the 57791 XB DTM 08 Teile. This 1/10 scale model reproduces the Mercedes AMG C-Class 2008 livery driven by B. Schneider, mounted on the practical TT-01E chassis to deliver both display quality and predictable handling on the circuit.
The polycarbonate bodywork captures the original car's aerodynamic profile and is finished with accurate race markings. LED fixtures are incorporated to simulate the head and tail lamps, enhancing the model's realism when in use or on show.
The Expert Built model arrives with the main components pre-installed, including the R/C gear and wheel-trigger transmitter. A battery pack and charger are provided for Japan, while overseas customers should check local power requirements. This approach reduces time-to-running for drivers and collectors alike.
The TT-01E bathtub chassis gives a sturdy foundation, paired with a shaft-driven full-time 4WD and a low centre of gravity to promote manageable handling. Structural parts use fibreglass-reinforced nylon and a 3-piece tie rod for durability, and the 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with front and rear 3-bevel differentials maintains traction. The fitted ESC supports forward and reverse operation.
The Tamiya 57791 XB DTM 08 Teile makes a fine choice for those who want a faithful DTM replica that is ready to run yet remains straightforward to service and modify.
