The Return of a Legend: Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR on the TC-01 Platform

In the world of radio-controlled cars, few names resonate like the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR. Originally launched in 1998 on Tamiya's TA-03R chassis, this iconic model has seen various iterations, including the TT-01E. Today, it makes a triumphant comeback on the high-performance TC-01 chassis, promising unmatched on-road prowess.

TC-01 Chassis: A Game-Changer in R/C Engineering

The TC-01 chassis represents a leap forward in R/C car design. Its durable composite monocoque frame integrates shaft-driven 4WD, powered from a centrally located motor, and features oil-filled gear differentials for smooth power distribution. The chassis's low profile complements the sleek CLK-GTR body, optimizing aerodynamics and stability.

Advanced Suspension for Precision Handling

What truly sets the TC-01 apart is its sophisticated suspension system. Employing a 4-wheel independent double wishbone setup with long arms, the suspension features inboard configurations both at the front and rear. Oil dampers, actuated by push rods and rocker arms, ensure that the CLK-GTR remains glued to the road, even during aggressive cornering. Customization is a breeze, with adjustable camber, skid, and toe angles using spacers and shims.

Perfect for Tinkerers and Racers Alike

Whether you're a seasoned racer or a hobbyist who loves fine-tuning, the TC-01's design caters to efficient maintenance and customization. Identical suspension arms and uprights across the vehicle simplify repairs and adjustments. The rear transverse battery mount accommodates various battery sizes, adding to the model's versatility.

The Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR on the TC-01 chassis is a must-have for any R/C enthusiast looking for a blend of historical prestige and cutting-edge performance. Its versatility and precision handling make it suitable for racers and collectors alike.
