Tamiya 44030 1/8 TGR Chassis Kit - Precision and Tunability
The Tamiya 44030 1/8 TGR Chassis Kit showcases high quality engineering for nitro touring cars, built to deliver predictable handling and speed for serious RC drivers. Lightweight construction and a strong powerplant give this kit the balance needed for competitive on-road use.
Weight-Saving Construction for Better Lap Times
The TGR chassis uses a 2.5mm duralumin main plate paired with a 2mm carbon fiber upper deck to cut mass where it matters. That combination reduces rotating and unsprung weight to improve cornering response and acceleration without sacrificing chassis stiffness.
FS-15RB Power Delivery
Included is the FS-15RB engine, selected for consistent midrange and top-end performance. The FS-15RB provides usable power for both tight technical sections and long straights, making power delivery straightforward to manage with proper carb and clutch tuning.
Tuned Handling via Independent Suspension
Four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension gives the chassis precise mechanical grip and predictable roll characteristics. The layout is receptive to spring, damper and anti-roll adjustments, and fully equipped ball bearings keep driveline efficiency high.
Build Options and Control Compatibility
The TGR kit accepts a wide range of 1/8 scale bodies and works with Tamiya R/C systems or any conventional 2-channel, 2-servo radio setup. With the body sold separately, the chassis makes a solid base for custom setups and electronics choices.
