Tamiya 44040 TG10 Beams Integra Nitro Touring Car Kit  [44040]

Detailed Preview of the Tamiya 44040 TG10 Beams Integra

The Tamiya 44040 - 1/10 GP TG10 Beams Integra brings authentic nitro touring car engineering to hobbyists who value precision. Built around a competition-style TG10-Mk.1 platform, this kit balances durable construction with true-to-life driving characteristics for track and club use.

Chassis Design and Build: TG10-Mk.1 Details

The TG10-Mk.1 chassis is the backbone of the Tamiya 44040. It uses a double-deck layout with a 2.5mm duralumin lower deck and a reinforced nylon upper deck for rigidity. The shaft-driven 4WD delivers consistent traction, while the 257mm wheelbase and 1550g chassis weight help provide stable, balanced handling.

Engine Package: FS-12LT Nitromotor

Powered by a 2.1cc FS-12LT engine, the Tamiya 44040 offers strong acceleration and easy starting via its recoil starter. Four ball bearings are fitted to reduce drivetrain friction, and the large disk brake setup helps control speed during intense runs.

Independent Suspension and Control

A double wishbone independent suspension with four oil dampers keeps the wheels planted and improves cornering precision. The suspension layout supports both responsive steering and smooth rebound over a range of track surfaces.

The Tamiya 44040 suits modelers who want a nitro touring kit with authentic chassis engineering and tunable handling. It works well for practice laps, club racing, or detailed setup sessions.
