Track-ready Replica of a Touring Car Classic

The Tamiya 43520 Nitro Mercedes-Benz C-Class DTM 2004 is a detailed, performance-focused 1/10 scale model built for drivers who want authentic handling and race-style setup options. Its combination of nitro power and a shaft-driven 4WD platform makes it a favourite among experienced RC on-road fans.

Heritage and Livery

The C-Class DTM 2004 is represented here in the metallic silver No. 8 trim, reflecting the AMG Mercedes entry driven by Jean Alesi. The model captures the original racing aesthetic while keeping durability in mind for active track use.

TNS Chassis Engineering

The TNS chassis pairs an aluminum lower deck with a strong plastic upper deck for balanced weight distribution. Power comes from the OS FS-12SW engine with a dual needle carburetor and recoil starter, while independent double wishbone suspension and oil dampers help deliver precise on-road control.

Drive and Tuning Options

Shaft-driven 4WD and sealed differential gearboxes provide predictable traction across varied road surfaces. The pre-painted polycarbonate body is race ready out of the box, and the platform accepts TG10-Mk.1 option parts for anyone wanting to tune handling or performance.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Engine: OS FS-12SW with dual needle carburetor
  • Chassis: TNS with aluminum lower deck
  • Drive: 4WD shaft-driven
  • Suspension: 4-wheel independent double wishbone
  • Body: Pre-painted polycarbonate

This Tamiya 43520 model suits advanced hobbyists and collectors who value realistic detail and a tunable nitro platform, offering a solid base for upgrades and setup changes.

The model is RTR but requires basic final checks like battery for the receiver, radio pairing and fuel system setup. Expect some time for trim and initial engine tuning before track laps.
Use a quality nitro glow fuel suited to small displacement engines and be ready to adjust the dual needle carburetor for temperature and altitude to get a smooth idle and strong mid range.
The car performs best on smooth asphalt or dedicated on-road circuits; rubber touring tyres or foam inserts tuned for grip will help you dial in lap times.
Regularly check differential oil, inspect the driveshafts and clean the air filter after runs. Re-torque key screws and monitor the engine glow plug condition for consistent performance.
