Tamiya 58296 CLK-DTM 2002 AMG Mercedes Heritage RC Kit  [58296]

Bringing the CLK-DTM 2002 AMG Mercedes to 1/10 scale

The Tamiya 58296 recreates the AMG Mercedes CLK-DTM 2002 raced by Jean Alesi, offering authentic lines and period detail for model collectors and weekend racers. The TL-01LA chassis provides a sensible base for on-road running and continued upgrades.

Core chassis traits and ride behaviour

The TL-01LA monocoque frame combined with a shaft-driven 4WD layout gives even drive distribution and reliable traction. Long suspension arms and independent double wishbones allow the Tamiya 58296 to track predictably on smooth tarmac and club surfaces.

Race inspired details in scale

This model mirrors the aggressive styling and proportions of the original DTM racer, making it appealing to hobbyists who value accurate reproductions and classic motorsport aesthetics.

Upgrade routes and setup tips

Common upgrades include strengthened universal shafts, adjusted gearing for different top speeds, and suspension hop-ups. The 540-brushed motor is easy to work with and leaves room for performance swaps if required.

Tamiya 58296 works well for enthusiasts seeking a historically minded touring car with a robust chassis that adapts to display, club runs, and staged tuning upgrades.
