This chassis is 1.1 mm thick, has a black finish, and is particularly suitable for racing in stock touring car classes (as it is slightly lighter than a 1.2 mm chassis)

. Takashima D-13 is launching a new range of steel chassis for 1:10 touring cars, the first product in which is the A800R from Awesomatix. The Takashima D-13 product has the same thickness as the original Awesomatix chassis and is characterised by outstanding quality and workmanship.

In collaboration with a team from a fully-fledged automotive manufacturing plant, a special spring steel has been selected that offers an optimal balance between strength and durability. The chassis features ultra-flat precision grinding with nanometre accuracy and a mirror-smooth surface finish for exceptional performance and consistency. 

It is designed for use with 120-degree flat-head screws and no longer requires special screws, significantly improving cost-efficiency and availability.

The chassis package does NOT include a 120-degree screw set.
We recommend the TORX screw set TKSM-169 (incl. Torx screwdriver)

Please read the following information: :

As the steel plate is only 1.1 mm thick, it cannot be mounted using conventional 90-degree countersunk screws. Our chassis plate must be fitted using M3 120-degree countersunk flat-head screws. (Using screws that are not 120 degrees will enlarge the holes and cause permanent damage to the plate.)

Although you can find this type of screw on the market, we strongly recommend using our factory-made Takashima D-13 screws to achieve the best assembly results.

Our custom screws are characterised by the following features :

Each screw specification is manufactured using its own independent mould. The precision exceeds that of mass-produced screws of the same size and ensures that the screw head sits perfectly flush with the steel plate after assembly, without protruding, thereby preventing deformation of the plate.

The screws are made of carbon steel with a silver-coated surface and have a strength class of 12.9. The recommended tightening torque for all M3 screws is 0.8 N·m to achieve a longer service life and better resistance to frequent assembly and disassembly.

The depth of the screwdriver engagement has been specially adjusted to ensure that the recess is deep enough for secure tightening, thereby reducing the risk of slipping.
