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.

Takashima D-13 TRF421X 1.1 | 1.2mm Spring Steel Chassis

Takashima D-13 has released their 1.1mm and 1.2mm spring steel chassis options featuring a black coated finish for the Tamiya TRF421X 1:10 Touring Car.  Like the previous releases in the Takashima D-13 spring steel chassis lineup, the chassis uses 120-degree countersunk screw holes, allowing perfect fitment on both the 1.1mm and 1.2mm thickness versions.  The black coating not only gives the chassis a unique stealth-style appearance, but also helps prevent rust and corrosion, eliminating one of the common concerns associated with spring steel chassis plates.  Developed for maximum consistency and performance, the new chassis is expected to be a strong option for dedicated Tamiya racing enthusiasts.

Takashima D-13 TC8 1.1mm | 1.2mm Spring Steel Chassis

Following growing recognition from factory drivers and racers, Takashima D-13 continues to expand its spring steel chassis plate lineup with the introduction of a new version for the Team Associated TC8 1:10 Electric Touring Car.  The chassis is available in two variants: a 1.1mm version for stock racing and a 1.2mm option for modified classes, both designed to offer increased flex characteristics combined with high overall strength.  In addition, the chassis features an extra locating pin hole.  When used with the Takashima D-13 servo mount, the mounting system is upgraded from the standard one pin and two screws to a more secure two pins and two screws configuration.  Compared to the kit standard setup, this significantly improves the rigidity of the TC8 servo mount, reducing the risk of movement or deformation.  The chassis remains fully compatible with the original servo mount, giving users greater flexibility in setup choices.

Takashima D-13 Touring Car DLC Coated Shock Shafts

Takashima D-13 has announced the release of its new DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coated shock shafts which are now entering full-scale production for a range of touring car and drift platforms.  Developed to improve suspension efficiency and consistency, the new shafts are designed as a direct upgrade for demanding track use.  The application of DLC coating delivers a significant reduction in surface friction, allowing for smoother shock action and improved response, especially over fine surface irregularities.  At the same time, the coating provides increased surface hardness and wear resistance, helping to maintain consistent damping performance over extended use.  Manufactured to tight tolerances, the D-13 DLC shock shafts ensure precise fitment across multiple platforms, offering racers and drivers a durable and performance-focused option.

Takashima D-13 1:8 Onroad DLC coated Wheel Reamer

Takashima D-13 has released this 1:8 Onroad Wheel Reamer with DLC coating.  Widely regarded as the Formula 1 of RC racing, in 1:8 Onroad racing mechanics often need to change tyres quickly during pit stops.  The fit between the wheel hub and axle plays a critical role in how fast and smoothly this can be done.  To eliminate this small but crucial factor, Takashima D-13 developed a 12mm reamer tool.  Featuring an advanced DLC coating on the cutting head, the tool significantly improves the precision and surface finish of the wheel hub bore, while also delivering exceptional hardness and durability.  The 6.35mm hex shank fits most manual and electric tools, with a quick-lock design for maximum convenience.
