The iconic Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR roars back onto the RC scene, this time gracing the high-performance TC-01 chassis! Get ready for unparalleled speed and precision as the sleek lines of the CLK-GTR combine with the ultra-low centre of gravity of the TC-01 platform. The durable composite monocoque frame of the TC-01 chassis delivers shaft-driven 4WD via a central motor and prop shafts, ensuring maximum power transfer. Oil-filled gear differentials maintain smooth handling, while independent double wishbone suspension with long arms provides exceptional stability and control. Inboard setups front and rear allow for low-profile bodies like the CLK-GTR, hugging the tarmac for optimal aerodynamics. Adjust spacer width for easy camber, skid, and toe angle adjustments, fine-tuning your handling for any track. Identical left-right and front-rear suspension arms and uprights make maintenance and pit stops a breeze, keeping you focused on burning rubber, not wrenching.

Key Features
The TC-01 features a centrally mounted motor to evenly distribute power to the front and rear wheels and provide a smooth and predictable driving experience.
High-performance CVA dampers, engineered in a top mounting horizontal position, unleash their control magic through a dynamic duo of rocker arms and pushrods, ensuring razor-sharp responsiveness on any track.
Designed with simplicity in mind, Tamiya have ensured that all the suspension arms are uniform, making for a quick and easy workability when maintenance is required. Not only are these arms highly functional, they look just like the real deal.
Spacers and shims can be used to simply and effectively fine-tune your model by altering toe, camber, and skid angle settings allowing an extremely high level of customisation to be done to the handling characteristics of the TC-01, making it a weapon on a wide variety of tracks.
Sitting across the centre of the chassis and sitting low down to bring the centre of gravity down for a more predictable and reliable stability. Tamiya have ensured that this battery tray can fit a square 7.4V LiPo to allow for the longest possible run times.
