Takashima D-13 is launching a new line of steel chassis for 1/10th scale touring cars, including a chassis for the Schumacher Mi9!

Working with a team from a full-scale automotive manufacturing factory, a special spring steel was selected to provide an optimal balance between strength and durability. The chassis features ultra-flat precision grinding with nanometre accuracy and a mirror-smooth finish for exceptional performance and consistency.

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

The chassis package does NOT include a 120-degree screw set.

Please read the following information:

Since the steel plate is only 1.2 mm thick, it cannot be mounted with conventional 90-degree countersunk screws. Our chassis plate must be mounted with 120-degree countersunk head screws M3 with a flat head. (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 mounting results.

Our customised screws are characterised by the following features:

Each screw specification is manufactured with 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 on the steel plate after assembly without protruding, 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 customised to ensure that the recess is deep enough for secure tightening, reducing the risk of slippage.

Due to the natural physical properties of steel, rusting may occur, especially after the anti-rust coating on the plate has worn off. This is a normal phenomenon for which we ask for your understanding.
