Tamiya TT-01E 1997 Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR RC Touring Car Electric 4WD 1/10 Scale Kit (no ESC)
This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.
This Tamiya radio control model recreates the 1997 Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR. Originally released as Item 58214 on the TA-03R chassis, this release mounts the classic race car body on the proven TT-01 Type-E chassis. The actual car was powered by a 6-liter V12 engine. In 1997 it had a highly successful FIA GT Championship season, taking six wins in eleven races on its way to the team (AMG-Mercedes) and driver championships.
The bathtub frame of the shaft-driven 4WD TT-01 Type-E has its motor and battery close to the ground for lower centre of gravity and optimum balance. A fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and gear covers improve rigidity, and a 3-piece tie rod provides smooth steering action. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and front and rear differential gears produce an excellent driving experience.
The TT-01E boasts independent front and rear double-wishbone suspension, allowing the model to hug the ground for superior traction and stability. Friction dampers effectively absorb bumps and imperfections in the terrain, ensuring a smooth and controlled drive even over rough surfaces.
The TT-01 Type-E features a robust plastic bathtub chassis as its foundation. This design, reinforced with a screw-attached upper deck, provides exceptional rigidity and reliability, ensuring precise handling and control even under demanding driving conditions.
The front and rear uprights are engineered specifically for the TT-01 TYPE-E platform. They are constructed from durable high-strength materials to ensure they can withstand the rigours of racing while maintaining a precise fit.
The steering system is designed with a three-piece layout and an aluminium steering post for reduced friction. This setup minimises play in the linkage, providing a smooth and precise feel that is essential for maintaining the perfect racing line.
The upper deck is designed with racing in mind and can be fitted with a transponder bracket. This is a must-have feature for competitive racing, as it allows you to easily mount the electronic device used by tracks to record your lap times.
The separate shock absorber mount stay provides two mounting positions for your shocks. This level of adjustability allows you to customise your suspension for better cornering or improved stability, depending on your racing needs.
