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

Track-focused capabilities of the Tamiya TG10-Mk.1 PRO

For RC hobbyists chasing consistent on-road performance, the Tamiya 49172 TG10-Mk.1 PRO Long Suspension Version combines careful engineering with race-minded components. This nitro touring car kit is aimed at serious builders and collectors, featuring an extended suspension layout and an original Tamiya polycarbonate body.

Chassis build and suspension layout

The TG10-Mk.1 PRO uses a 3mm duralumin lower plate with a 2mm carbon fiber upper deck to balance stiffness and weight. Independent double wishbone suspension on all four corners improves stability and steering precision, important for maintaining control at speed on paved circuits.

Appearance and wheel setup

The kit ships with black 5-spoke wheels and slick tyres that complement the aerodynamic polycarbonate shell, reducing mass while offering a durable exterior for club racing and practice sessions.

Engine options and drivetrain notes

Built to accept a glow engine (sold separately), the kit encourages custom engine and exhaust choices. With a factory gear ratio of 8.1:1 it provides a balanced mix of acceleration and top speed, letting tuners tailor performance to different track conditions.

The Tamiya 49172 TG10-Mk.1 PRO Long Suspension Version rewards experienced builders who want to fine tune handling and power. Its robust construction and scope for engine choice make it a strong base for competitive club racing.
