Heritage on Wheels: Tamiya 58379 Tribute

The Tamiya 58379 recreates the striking Vodafone AMG-Mercedes C-Class that made its mark in the 2006 DTM season. Dressed in a red and black race livery at 1/10 scale, this model blends authentic styling with accessible on-road performance. Mounted on the trusted TT-01 platform, it appeals to newcomers and club racers alike.

TT-01 Chassis for Predictable Handling

The core of the Tamiya 58379 is the TT-01 chassis, a 4WD shaft-driven layout known for its strength and straightforward setup. The bathtub frame promotes balanced weight distribution, while the included Type 540 motor supplies steady power. Independent double wishbone suspension smooths out small bumps and helps keep turns tidy.

Pre-Painted Detail and Ready-to-Run Parts

The pre-painted polycarbonate body captures the lines and stickers of the race car without requiring paint work. Fitted with racing slick tyres and the TEU-101 BK electronic speed controller, the package gets you on track quickly. For tuners, a wide selection of hop-up components is available to refine speed and handling.

Racing Roots and Driver Legacy

Associated with driver Bernd Schneider, the Vodafone AMG-Mercedes C-Class secured notable wins including outings at Hockenheimring and Euro Speedway. The Tamiya 58379 offers a compact way to enjoy that motorsport heritage while sharpening your driving technique.

The Tamiya 58379 is a solid pick for hobbyists who want a faithful DTM replica with room to grow. Its straightforward design suits first-time builders while still allowing experienced modders to chase better lap times.
