The Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters series is a cornerstone of touring car competition, noted for close racing and high-performance machinery. Tamiya recreates that spirit with the 57791 XB DTM 08 Teile, a faithful 1/10 scale model of the Mercedes AMG C-Class 2008 campaigned by B. Schneider. Built on the dependable TT-01E platform, this model blends period-correct looks with usable engineering for both display and driving.
The Tamiya 57791 uses a polycarbonate body shaped to match the aerodynamic lines of the original DTM racer, with the race livery carefully applied for authentic appearance. Integrated LED units reproduce head and tail light effects to enhance realism during running sessions.
This Expert Built version comes mostly assembled with core R/C components fitted, including the wheel-trigger transmitter and a battery pack. The battery pack and charger are included for Japan, while customers elsewhere may need to obtain compatible power accessories. The ready-built approach lets drivers get on track with minimal setup.
Underneath the shell the TT-01E bathtub frame provides a durable base, with a shaft-driven full-time 4WD system and a low center of gravity for stable handling. Fiberglass-reinforced nylon parts increase rigidity, a 3-piece tie rod improves steering response, and the 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with front and rear 3-bevel differentials supports consistent traction. A forward/reverse ESC is included for precise throttle control.
The Tamiya 57791 XB DTM 08 Teile is a great option for modelers and racers who want genuine DTM visuals combined with a robust, serviceable chassis that responds well to tuning.
