Takashima D-13 1.1mm Spring Steel Chassis

Following the successful release of their 1.2mm spring steel touring car chassis, Takashima D-13 continues to push development forward with the introduction of a new 1.1mm spring steel chassis.  By utilising 120-degree ultra-low profile M3 countersunk screws, the new 1.1mm chassis uses exactly the same hardware as the 1.2mm version.  This smart design choice allows drivers to upgrade without the need to purchase additional screws, keeping costs to a minimum.  The main features of the 1.1mm spring steel chassis include Reduced Weight.  With the same chassis layout, a 0.1mm reduction in thickness results in a weight saving of approximately 10–15 grams, depending on the platform.  Another benefit is increased chassis flex with extensive laboratory testing combined with real-world track testing has showing that the 1.1mm chassis offers increased flex, delivering improved chassis flow and overall handling, especially on lower grip conditions.  Another feature is Predictable flex behaviour.  Both the 1.1mm and 1.2mm chassis share identical outer dimensions and the same cut-out design for each platform.  This ensures a similar flex trend between the two options, allowing drivers to easily predict handling changes when switching thicknesses.  With the chassis thickness reduced by a further 0.1mm, the overall centre of gravity is lowered again, contributing to improved on-track performance.  These make the 1.1mm spring steel chassis is an excellent choice for medium to low grip tracks and low-power Stock class racing.  With this latest development, Takashima D-13 continues to deliver some of the lowest centre of gravity chassis options available worldwide.
