The Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR R/C car kit first made its appearance in the Tamiya product catalogue in 1998 on the popular TA-03R chassis platform then later the easy to assemble TT-01E platform. The CLK-GTR has made a return this time on our high-performance TC-01 chassis platform, which is destined to provide the most performance yet as it takes advantage of the Mercedes sleek body profile and the low centre of gravity of the TC-01!

TC-01: Seriously Low-Profile

This durable composite monocoque-frame chassis provides shaft driven 4WD from a central motor via front and rear propeller shafts, with oil filled gear differentials. 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension employs long arms, plus inboard setups front and rear with oil shock-dampers actuated by push rods and rocker arms to allow the use of low-profile bodies. Adjust spacer width to easily alter camber, skid, and toe angle settings. Both suspension arms and uprights are identical left, right, front and rear, for more efficient maintenance and pit work.
