In 1997, Mercedes had a spectacular racing season with their state of the art CLK-GTR racing machine. Although the car was developed in a very short and limited period, it brought both the driver"s and constructor"s titles to the team. Now this amazing racing creation of Mercedes is reproduced in 1/8 scale by Tamiya, utilizing their popular TGX glow engine R/C car chassis. The model uses a 2.5mm thick duralumin plate for the main frame/chassis. A 2.5cc displacement FS-15LT glow engine is mounted amidships, and front and rear gearboxes are connected via a center drive shaft. Four wheel double wishbone suspension is equipped with four coil over oil-filled shock units. The low and distinctive silhouette of the full size CLK is perfectly rendered in a vacuum formed polycarbonate body shell.
