or 4 interest-free payments with Afterpay
The Tamiya 1997 CLK-GTR (TC-01) is a 1/10 scale electric touring car kit recreating the iconic Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR GT racing car on Tamiya's TC-01 chassis. Style code TAM58731, this is a plastic assembly kit aimed at experienced builders who want a detailed, race-inspired model they've put together themselves. The TC-01 chassis is a touring car platform designed specifically for cars with a mid-mounted engine layout, making it a natural fit for the CLK-GTR's proportions. Once built, it's suited to smooth, flat surfaces such as indoor tracks or car parks — the kind of terrain that suits a 1/10 scale touring car.
This is not a ready-to-run model. You'll need to source electronics — motor, ESC, servo, receiver, and transmitter — along with a battery and charger to complete the build. That does mean a higher entry cost, but it also gives you full control over the drivetrain and electronics setup to suit your budget or experience level.
Key Features
- TC-01 chassis design is engineered for mid-engine-layout vehicles, giving the CLK-GTR bodywork an accurate stance and proportion at 1/10 scale.
- Detailed polycarbonate body shell recreates the 1997 Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR GT racing livery, with decals included for finishing.
- Kit format requires full assembly, making it suitable for builders with prior Tamiya kit experience who want a rewarding build process.
- Tours on smooth, flat surfaces — this is a track-focused touring car, not designed for off-road or rough terrain.
- Compatible with standard Tamiya touring car electronics and hop-up parts available through the Tamiya aftermarket.
