Tamiya 49172 TG10-Mk.1 PRO Pro Long Suspension Nitro Chassis Kit  [49172]

Why the TG10-Mk.1 PRO excels on paved circuits

Enthusiasts focused on on-road speed will find the Tamiya 49172 TG10-Mk.1 PRO Long Suspension Version delivers a race-oriented platform. This nitro kit caters to tuners and collectors, pairing an extended suspension design with a genuine Tamiya body shell.

Materials and suspension performance

The TG10-Mk.1 PRO pairs a 3mm duralumin lower plate with a 2mm carbon upper deck to give a stiff but light structure. Its independent double wishbone suspension at each wheel improves traction and steering consistency during high-speed cornering.

Visuals and contact patches

Equipped with black 5-spoke wheels and slick tyres, the kit balances looks and grip; the polycarbonate body keeps weight down while providing a tough outer skin for competitive running.

Installing an engine and gearing considerations

Designed for a glow engine installation (engine not included), the chassis leaves room for different engine choices and tuning. The specified 8.1:1 gear ratio offers a compromise between acceleration and top speed for varied track layouts.

The Tamiya 49172 TG10-Mk.1 PRO Long Suspension Version is a solid starting point for racers who enjoy setup work and engine experimentation, providing a reliable platform for lap improvements.
