Revamping Nitro Racing: The Tamiya TG10-Mk.2 Chassis Kit
The evolution of nitro-powered RC cars continues with the release of the Tamiya TG10-Mk.2 Chassis Kit. Building on the legacy of its predecessors, the TG10-Mk.1 and TG10R, this model introduces significant enhancements aimed at meeting the demands of experienced RC enthusiasts. With its redefined layout and performance-focused design, the TG10-Mk.2 is set to become a favorite among racers who crave precision and speed.
Advanced Engineering for Superior Performance
The TG10-Mk.2 boasts a meticulously redesigned chassis layout. By repositioning the engine to the right side, Tamiya has optimized air intake and exhaust efficiency, which enhances overall engine performance. Centralizing the fuel tank and other heavy components contributes to a lower center of gravity, significantly improving cornering stability and agility on the track.
Key Features and Technical Highlights
This nitro chassis is equipped with a robust two-speed transmission, offering seamless acceleration and high-speed capabilities. The inclusion of aluminum TRF dampers ensures superior shock absorption, while the ball connector suspension allows for easy adjustments to suit various racing conditions. The addition of four bevel pinion gears and a rear stabilizer further enhances handling precision.
It's important to note that the kit does not include a body, engine, muffler, or manifold, allowing hobbyists the flexibility to customize their build. Designed to accommodate a .12 rear exhaust engine with an SG shaft, the TG10-Mk.2 requires a separate starter box for engine ignition.
