Tamiya 58351 1/10 Mercedes-Benz C11 Pre-Painted Polycarbonate RC  [58351]

Heritage Racer Recreated in Scale

The Tamiya 58351 is a faithful scale tribute to the Mercedes-Benz C11 that made its mark in the 1990 World Sports Prototype Championship. Noted for its sharp aerodynamics and a carbon composite monocoque in full scale, the C11 ran a potent rear-mounted 5-liter V8 twin-turbo in period competition. This RC captures the car's visual and engineering spirit for collectors and track drivers alike.

Bodywork and Chassis Details

The Tamiya 58351 uses a precisely formed polycarbonate body that mirrors the streamlined silhouette of the race car. The shell arrives pre-painted with period-accurate markings so it looks authentic straight away. Underneath, the compact bathtub and space frame chassis deliver rigidity and stability, while a shaft-driven ball differential helps distribute power smoothly to the driveline.

Tuned Suspension and Tyres

For on-road performance the model adopts an independent coil spring front suspension and a 3P type rear suspension fitted with CVA dampers. This layout keeps the C11 low and planted through corners and down straights. Sponge tyres with the recreated Goodyear logos add period correct grip and appearance.

The Tamiya 58351 Mercedes-Benz C11 suits both display collectors and racers who want a period-correct on-road model with modern handling. Its balance of authentic looks and functional chassis makes it a versatile build.
