TAMIYA RC 1/10 MERCEDES-BENZ CLK-GTR 1997 (TC-01)

Tamiya RC 1/10 Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR 1997 (TC-01) 4WD FIA GT Racing Car Assembly Kit

Recreate one of the most dominant GT racers of the 1990s with the Tamiya RC 1/10 Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR 1997. This detailed assembly kit captures the Mercedes-Benz machine that took six victories in the 1997 FIA GT Championship, with a low-slung polycarbonate body, separate aero components and a high-performance TC-01 chassis designed specifically for low-profile racing bodies.

Please note this is an unassembled kit requiring assembly; it ships as a build-it-yourself kit and does not arrive pre-built or ready to run.

The TC-01 uses a composite monocoque chassis and central motor with shaft-driven 4WD to front and rear oil-filled gear differentials. Its inboard front and rear suspension employs long double wishbones, pushrods, rocker arms and CVA oil dampers, allowing a very low chassis profile while still providing extensive adjustment of camber, skid and toe angles.
