Classic Racing Replica: Tamiya 58318 Mercedes-Benz on the TT-01

The Tamiya 58318 captures the look of the Team Vodafone AMG-Mercedes while using the versatile TT-01 chassis. The TT-01 is well known for straightforward assembly and wide aftermarket support, making it a go-to for modders and first-time builders alike.

Track Heritage and Notable Wins

The full-scale Team Vodafone AMG-Mercedes has a rich DTM background, taking championships in 2000 and 2001 and returning strongly in 2003. This kit echoes that racing history in miniature, appealing to collectors and track fans.

Simple Layout, Solid Performance

The TT-01 chassis provides a clean, user-friendly layout with four-wheel shaft drive and a 540 motor for reliable power. Its design favors stability and easy maintenance while letting builders swap parts to tune handling and speed.

Room to Tweak and Upgrade

Owners can fit a variety of optional parts to the TT-01, covering everything from motor and suspension upgrades to cosmetic changes. The platform is ideal for experimenting with gear ratios, tires, and shock options.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Chassis: TT-01 plastic tub design
  • Drive: 4WD shaft drive
  • Motor: 540 motor with pre-attached leads
  • Differentials: Planetary gear
  • Suspension: Fixed non-adjustable
  • Speed Control: Mechanical

For RC fans who want a blend of period race style and a forgiving chassis, the Tamiya 58318 Mercedes-Benz on the TT-01 is a practical pick that rewards upgrades and track time.

The TT-01 is designed for ease of assembly with clear steps and mainly snap or screw fittings, so it is accessible for newcomers with basic modelling tools.
Yes, the chassis accepts different 540 motors and common bolt patterns, but you may also need to upgrade gearing and the speed control for higher power motors.
The kit runs well on a standard 6-cell flat pack or comparable LiPo packs with appropriate connectors; choose a battery that fits the tub and your desired runtime.
A set of small screwdrivers, pliers, hobby knife and side cutters are enough for most of the build, plus silicone grease for smooth moving parts.
