Classic Supercar Reborn on a Race-Proven Chassis

Few R/C models carry the same cachet as the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR. First seen in 1998, this silhouette now returns mounted on Tamiya's TC-01 platform, offering a refined on-road package that blends heritage styling with modern chassis engineering.

TC-01 Platform Highlights

The TC-01 chassis uses a rigid composite monocoque that houses a shaft-driven 4WD system and a centrally mounted motor. Oil-filled gear differentials smooth power transfer, while the low-profile layout keeps the CLK-GTR bodyline true to the real car and helps with downforce and stability.

Suspension Designed for Track Control

Handling comes from a 4-wheel independent double wishbone arrangement with long arms and inboard mounting at both ends. Push rod operated oil dampers and rocker arms give consistent response during cornering, and setup changes are straightforward with shims and spacers for camber, toe and ride height.

Built for Setup and Speed

The TC-01 suits racers and setup-focused hobbyists. Matching suspension pieces simplify repairs and spares, and the transverse battery tray accepts several pack sizes so you can balance weight and runtime for different circuits.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Length: 470mm
  • Width: 194mm
  • Wheelbase: 257mm
  • Body Material: Polycarbonate
  • Drive Type: 4WD
  • Chassis Type: TC-01
  • Suspension: 4-wheel fully independent double wishbone
  • Shock Damper: CVA Oil Filled

This CLK-GTR on the TC-01 platform is an attractive choice for on-road enthusiasts who want a balance of historic styling and adjustable, race-capable handling.

The kit is aimed at hobbyists with some prior R/C experience. Assembly is straightforward but requires attention to drivetrain alignment and careful trimming of the polycarbonate body.
Use a low-profile, high-torque servo to fit the TC-01 steering space. Aim for around 10 to 12 kg-cm torque for confident control at speed.
The transverse tray accepts many short and flat LiPo packs. Measure your pack length and height before buying to ensure the battery and connector clearances work with your setup.
Regularly check diff oil, inspect drivetrain bearings, and verify suspension pivot play. Clean and lubricate parts after dusty runs to keep performance consistent.
