Takashima D-13 X4’26 ‘Fish shape’ V2 Spring Steel Chassis

New from leading steel chassis producer Takashima D-13 comes this ‘Fish Shape’ V2 Spring Steel Chassis for the Xray X4’26. Designed with a more balanced torsional flex characteristic, the black-coated X4-V2 chassis delivers increased overall stability and a more linear chassis response under load. Compared to the more aggressive flex profile of the original version, the updated design provides improved mid-corner support, more predictable weight transfer and enhanced rear-end consistency, especially under high-grip and high-power conditions. Well suited to modern modified touring car racing, the chassis shows its advantages on high-grip carpet tracks and in long main events where consistency and drivability become critical. While the original chassis focuses on maximum flex and rotation, the V2 version represents a more refined and controlled flex philosophy, offering a modern balance between steering response, rear traction and overall chassis stability. Like other Takashima D-13 Spring Steel Chassis, 120 degree flat head screws are required.
