Tamiya 58296 CLK-DTM 2002 AMG Mercedes TL-01LA 1/10 Kit  [58296]

A close look at the CLK-DTM 2002 AMG Mercedes in scale

The Tamiya 58296 reproduces the AMG Mercedes CLK-DTM 2002 driven by Jean Alesi, delivering an authentic racing silhouette and realistic detail for scale model fans. Built on the TL-01LA platform, this kit combines classic touring car lines with a chassis engineered for predictable handling and hobbyist tuning.

TL-01LA chassis and driving dynamics

The TL-01LA chassis uses a lightweight monocoque style and a shaft-driven 4WD system for consistent traction. Long suspension arms and independent double wishbones give the Tamiya 58296 stable cornering and confidence on typical club racetracks and smooth road surfaces.

Heritage on the model track

The CLK-DTM 2002 has a racing pedigree in DTM competition, and this RC interpretation keeps the aggressive stance and aerodynamic cues. Enthusiasts who value period-correct liveries and authentic proportions will appreciate the careful bodywork reproduction.

Tuning, hop-ups and practical upgrades

Owners can refine handling with TL-01 universal shafts, different gear ratios, and hop-up suspension parts. The 540-brushed motor layout supports a wide range of speed and torque choices, so you can tune the Tamiya 58296 for smoother road cruising or focused track performance.

The Tamiya 58296 suits scale collectors and club racers who want a tunable 1/10 platform with classic DTM styling. Its accessible chassis and broad upgrade path make it a good option for newcomers and experienced builders alike.
