Takashima D-13 B7.1 2WD Buggy Spring Steel Chassis

Following the success of their spring steel chassis in the touring car category, Takashima D-13 has ventured into the offroad market with the release of a 1.2mm Spring Steel Chassis for the hugely popular Team Associated RC10B7.1 2WD Buggy. Having delivered an ultra-low centre of gravity, increased corner speed, and a unique driving feel in touring car they are keen to bring this technology to the buggy category. Designed especially for high-grip carpet and clay tracks, the Takashima D-13 B7.1 Spring Steel Chassis offers drivers a completely different driving experience compared to a traditional aluminium chassis. Manufactured from premium spring steel and weighing 166 grams, the chassis combines excellent torsional flexibility with outstanding longitudinal rigidity, allowing the suspension to work more effectively while maintaining stability under acceleration and braking. Compared to a conventional aluminium chassis, the spring steel version provides improved mechanical grip, smoother weight transfer, increased corner speed, and more consistent handling on high-traction surfaces. With its lower centre of gravity and distinctive flex characteristics, the chassis gives the car a more planted and predictable feel, making it easier to carry speed through corners while maintaining excellent stability. Just like our touring car chassis, the B7.1 chassis is designed to use 120-degree countersunk screws throughout. Racers can choose between Hex or Torx T7 Grade 12.9 hardened carbon steel screw sets, depending on their preference.
