Classic Touring Car Heritage in Scale

The Tamiya 58491 reproduces the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II in 1/10 scale, offering hobbyists a historically accurate body and period styling. This kit brings the lines and presence of the original to the on-road track while remaining approachable for builders.

TT01E Chassis: Balanced and Beginner Friendly

The TT01E chassis is prized for straightforward assembly and predictable handling, making it suitable for newcomers and experienced pilots alike. Its shaft-driven 4WD layout provides stable high-speed tracking, and the independent double wishbone suspension smooths out cornering on paved surfaces. Sealed front and rear differentials help protect gears and keep maintenance low.

Scale Detail and Accessory Parts

The clear polycarbonate shell is sculpted to mirror the 190E's aerodynamic shape, with separate ABS components for mirrors, grille, and rear wing. A metal-plated badge enhances the authentic look, so the finished model reads as a display-quality piece as well as a runnable car.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Chassis: TT01E
  • Drive: 4WD shaft-driven
  • Body Material: Polycarbonate
  • Suspension: 4-wheel independent double wishbone
  • Differentials: Sealed front and rear

The Tamiya 58491 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II is a strong choice for builders who want a collectible look combined with a chassis that accepts upgrades for improved pace.

The TT01E platform uses clear step-by-step instructions and mostly snap or screw assemblies, so a patient beginner with basic tools can complete it without specialist skills.
The chassis accepts standard 540-size motors, giving you flexibility to choose a brushed or brushless option depending on desired speed and battery setup.
The polycarbonate body arrives clear for painting and the kit includes a sticker sheet for the period-correct livery, so you can finish details to taste.
With upgraded electronics, stronger shocks, and tuned gearing the TT01E can be made more competitive, though purpose-built racing platforms may offer an edge at serious events.
