Build and Drive the Tamiya 58279 CLK DTM

The Tamiya 58279 brings the Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM to life as a 1/10 scale on-road kit. Built on the TA04 chassis, this kit appeals to experienced racers and committed hobbyists who value precise engineering and period-correct styling.

TA04 Chassis Performance Details

The TA04 chassis is respected for its sturdy layout and confident cornering. It uses a 2-belt 4WD system to distribute power efficiently and improve traction, while the full set of ball bearings reduces drivetrain drag and boosts longevity for regular track use.

Fine Tuning and Setup

Adjustable turnbuckle shafts give straightforward tuning of steering geometry and suspension without tearing the car apart. That flexibility helps you dial in setups for faster laps or more stable road manners depending on your track or driving style.

Authentic CLK DTM Styling

The real-world Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM made a mark in DTM racing with its performance and development. This RC kit replicates the look with a clear polycarbonate shell and accurate decals, making it appealing to collectors and fans of touring car history.

The assembly is moderately challenging; newcomers will learn useful skills but may want guidance on electronics and setup to avoid sticking points.
Inspect the belt routing and bearing fit as you assemble to ensure smooth rotation and even tension across the 2-belt 4WD system.
The chassis accepts a standard 540-size motor, leaving room to choose a brushed or brushless option depending on your speed and torque needs.
The kit already includes a full set of ball bearings, but higher-grade precision bearings can reduce drag further and improve long-term durability.
