For enthusiasts of motorsport and German automotive excellence, the CLK AMG Mercedes-Benz stands as an icon of power and performance. Now, you can capture the thrill of this legendary racing machine with the Tamiya 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. This meticulously designed kit faithfully recreates the 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG Racing Version, drawing inspiration from the homologation model that embodied the raw energy of the race track, complete with its widened fenders and prominent rear wing, but without the distraction of sponsor logos.
Based on the widely acclaimed TT-02 chassis, this model kit offers a balanced and user-friendly platform for both seasoned R/C enthusiasts and newcomers to the hobby. The TT-02 chassis is engineered for superior stability thanks to its shaft-driven 4WD system. The layout strategically positions the battery longitudinally on the left and the motor on the right, contributing to exceptional balance and control. Ease of assembly is a key design feature, with identical left and right suspension arms and uprights, simplifying the build process. Maintenance is also straightforward due to the easily accessible gearboxes.
Beyond its ease of assembly and maintenance, the TT-02 chassis is remarkably adaptable. It provides two wheelbase options, allowing for adjustments to suit different body styles and handling characteristics. Two ground clearance settings further enhance its versatility, enabling you to fine-tune the model for various terrains. Additionally, two tread set-ups and a selection of ten possible gear ratios offer extensive customization for performance optimization. The chassis isn’t just about performance; it also incorporates visual details like brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports, adding to the overall realism of the model.
This 1/10 scale R/C assembly kit brings the dynamic proportions of the CLK AMG Mercedes-Benz to life. With a length of 444mm, a width of 185mm, and a height of 125mm, and a wheelbase of 257mm, the model accurately reflects the full-scale car’s presence. The lightweight yet robust 1.0mm thick polycarbonate body captures the aggressive lines of the CLK AMG. Separate components for the side mirrors and rear wing enhance the realism and detail of the replica. The kit includes silver 16-spoke wheels paired with racing slick tires, completing the authentic racing aesthetic. To assist with the finishing touches, stickers and window masking tape are included for a professional-looking paint job. The kit also includes an ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) and motor, providing the essential electronic components to get you started. To complete your CLK AMG Mercedes-Benz R/C model, you will need a 2-channel radio system, a 7.2-7.4volt battery with a compatible charger, and Tamiya PS paint to achieve your desired livery. Prepare to experience the thrill of building and driving your own miniature CLK AMG Mercedes-Benz, a testament to German engineering and racing heritage.
