DTM Heritage Built for Scale Racing

The Tamiya 58317 CLK-DTM 2002 AMG-Mercedes recreates a famous DTM contender at 1/10 scale. Built on the TB-02 chassis, this kit reflects the race-bred aesthetics and layout of the early 2000s AMG-Mercedes driven by notable racers like Jean Alesi.

TB-02 Chassis - Balance and Control

The TB-02 bathtub frame focuses on balance and reduced body roll to help keep handling predictable on paved tracks. Double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers give consistent grip, while the aluminium propeller shaft, front and rear ball differentials, and turnbuckle upper arms let hobbyists dial in performance.

Scale Styling and Track Performance

The black livery and pronounced rear wing capture the CLK-DTM silhouette, while the longitudinal motor layout, shaft-driven 4WD and included RS-540 motor provide the expected speed and drivability for club racing or display. This kit suits those who want a faithful scale model with competitive chassis features.

The Tamiya 58317 CLK-DTM 2002 AMG-Mercedes TB-02 chassis kit is ideal for modelers who value accurate scale detail and a chassis set up for on-road performance. It works well as a track car or a detailed display model.

Assembly is straightforward with care and basic modeling tools; beginners should allow time for reading instructions and fitting electronics properly.
You will need a 2-channel transmitter and receiver, an ESC compatible with a 7.2V battery pack, and a standard servo for steering; the RS-540 motor is included.
Yes, the TB-02 layout accepts alternate brushed or brushless setups with the correct mounts and pinion/spur sizing, but check gearing and ESC capacity before upgrading.
Spare parts like dampers, drive cups and suspension arms are available from Tamiya dealers and help extend the life of the model through maintenance.
