Tamiya Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 EVO II 1991 with Painted Body

The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 EVO II 1991 with Painted Body is a 1/10 scale 4WD RC car kit, built on Tamiya's TT-02 chassis. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.

Finished, it measures 445mm long with a 257mm wheelbase. The body is polycarbonate, so it takes knocks better than a hard shell.
