Construct the Tamiya 58279 CLK DTM Replica

The Tamiya 58279 models the Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM as a 1/10 on-road kit based on the TA04 chassis. It is intended for modellers and racers who want a faithful scale appearance paired with a performance-oriented platform.

TA04 Driving Features Explained

The TA04 chassis is designed for predictable handling, using a twin-belt 4WD layout to balance torque across the wheels. A full complement of ball bearings is supplied to minimise friction and ensure smoother mechanical operation.

Quick Setup Adjustments

Adjustable turnbuckle shafts allow quick changes to steering and suspension geometry so you can tune the car for sharper cornering or more stable straight-line running depending on conditions.

Replica Livery and Heritage

The Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM enjoyed a strong presence in DTM competition, and this kit captures that heritage with a sculpted polycarbonate shell and detailed decal artwork for authentic presentation.
