Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR TC01: The FIA GT Championship Icon Revisited as an RC Model
The Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR TC01 is a 1/10 scale radio controlled replica that pays homage to one of the most iconic race cars of the late 90s. Coupled with Tamiya's sophisticated TC-01 chassis, this car combines motorsport history with cutting-edge modelling technology.
Advanced Design and Performance
The TC-01 chassis, with its centrally positioned engine and all-wheel drive via universal joints, ensures balanced weight distribution and optimum traction. Oil-lubricated pinion differentials improve transmission smoothness, while the independent four-wheel double wishbone suspension ensures precise and responsive handling.
Innovation and Settings
Front and rear inboard dampers, activated by tie rods and rockers, are a notable feature of the TC-01 chassis, providing effective suspension and a unique visual appearance. Toe-in, camber and drift adjustments are facilitated by spacers and shims, allowing fine-tuning to suit driving preferences and track conditions.
Faithful Design and Authentic Details
The polycarbonate bodywork faithfully reproduces the aggressive, aerodynamic shapes of the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR. Details such as the white ABS side mirrors and rear spoiler, as well as the silver-spoke wheels and Racing Slicks tyres (wider at the rear), complete the authentic look of this model.
