Tamiya RC 1/10 1990 Mercedes-Benz C11 Limited Edition Car Kit Road Car COMBO. #

C is for Class With seven wins in just eight appearances during the 1990 World Sports Prototype Championship (WSPC), the Mercedes-Benz C 11 was clearly the class of the field - Boasting a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and powerful 5-liter V8 twin turbo engine, it had an unrivalled pairing of speed and reliability. This assembly kit recreates that car in 1/10 scale, with the honed body depicted in polycarbonate, plus stickers included to recreate one of two cars. Left: Take a look at the aerodynamically honed body from the rear, recreated accurately in polycarbonate. Right: Separate headlight cases add extra realism; paint and stickers are used for an authentic finish.

Direct-Drive 2WD Chassis Based around an ABS plastic bathtub, with space frames front and rear and FRP plates, the chassis is a composite design that offers a rigid base to back up the fluid suspension: the result is a crisp, responsive drive. At the front, it has an independent coil-sprung king pin suspension setup, while the rear rigid suspension is a 3-point design with a 1.5mm thickness FRP T-bar and CVA oil damper; teamed up with sponge tires front and rear, they ensure superb road holding. Additionally, use of spacers allows two different front and three rear ground clearance setups. Left: This image shows the direct 2-piece steering tie-rod setup, and the sturdy front space frame.

Right: A closer look at the front suspension, which uses a king pin and coil spring setup. Left: A 1.5mm thickness FRP T-bar and CVA oil damper are at the center of the rear suspension.

Right: The model is powered by a Sport-Tuned motor, and uses a direct drive setup with the spur next to the ball differential. COMBO inclusion: 3 channel flysky receiver, s3003 steering servo, metal ball bearing set.
