Authentic DTM Replica for Model Racers

The Tamiya 58317 CLK-DTM 2002 AMG-Mercedes reproduces a DTM-era race car in 1/10 scale. Constructed on the TB-02 chassis, the kit highlights the silhouette and racing details associated with the AMG-Mercedes entries of the period.

TB-02 Engineering for Predictable Handling

The TB-02 chassis offers a bathtub frame to reduce roll and encourage neutral behaviour on tarmac. Double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers provide a stable platform, while aluminium drive components and ball differentials support refined tuning for the driving surface.

Scale Accuracy and On-Track Capability

The model's bodywork and rear wing echo the DTM racer, and the longitudinally mounted RS-540 with a shaft-driven 4WD transmission supplies balanced traction. The kit is suitable for collectors and racers seeking a true-to-source appearance with practical chassis features.

The Tamiya 58317 CLK-DTM 2002 AMG-Mercedes TB-02 kit balances scale authenticity with a chassis that can be tuned for road course performance, making it a flexible choice for model racers and collectors.

The kit is suitable for intermediate builders; novices can complete it with patience, while experienced modellers can quickly optimise setup for performance.
Choose an ESC rated for brushed motors and compatible with your battery voltage; ensure the current rating covers the RS-540 under expected load.
Experiment with damper oil weight, spring preload and anti-roll balance; small incremental changes will clarify the effect on understeer or oversteer.
Replacement bodies, decals and trim items can be sourced from Tamiya parts suppliers to maintain authenticity or refresh a worn shell.
