Racing Heritage Behind the Tamiya GP CLK-DTM

Get behind the wheel of a detailed replica with the Tamiya 43506 - GP CLK-DTM 2002 AMG. This nitro touring car mirrors the Mercedes-Benz CLK-DTM that dominated DTM competition, and it brings that classic race presence to track days and club meets for experienced drivers and collectors alike.

Accurate Bodywork and Balanced Chassis

The model sports a sculpted polycarbonate body that reproduces the original car's lines, while the chassis layout focuses on balanced weight distribution and on-track stability. Included is a nitro powerplant to deliver the kind of immediate throttle response racers expect from a glow-engine touring car.

Setup Advice for Track Performance

For best results with the Tamiya 43506, start with a baseline suspension setup and dial in damping to suit your local circuits. Proper engine tuning and needle adjustments will help you find a smooth powerband; adjustable components make it straightforward to refine handling as your skills grow.

How It Stacks Up Against Similar Kits

Compared with other 1/10 touring kits, the Tamiya GP CLK-DTM stands out for its authentic body detail and classic race pedigree. While rivals may match certain performance aspects, few kits combine heritage and tunability in quite the same way.

The Tamiya 43506 - GP CLK-DTM 2002 AMG is ideal for hobbyists who want a realistic DTM touring car with nitro power and room to tune. It suits collectors, racers, and anyone ready to learn nitro setup and maintenance.

This kit is approachable if you are prepared to learn basic glow engine care and tuning. Start with conservative settings and seek help from experienced nitro drivers for initial setup.
Use touring car slicks matched to your track surface and choose gearing for a balance of acceleration and top speed. Smaller pinions give stronger acceleration for tighter layouts.
Perform basic checks after every run: clean air filter, check glow plug condition, and inspect for loose hardware. Full tune and inspection depends on hours run and performance changes.
Consider improved shock oils and quality tyres first, as they deliver immediate handling gains. After that, look at drivetrain and slipper clutch tuning to refine power delivery.
