Takashima D-13 Spring Steel Chassis V2 for Xray X4-26 (2 Thicknesses)

Takashima D-13 has a new product line coming in the range of Steel Chassis for 1:10 Touring Car. The Takashima D-13 product features superior quality and finish. In collaboration with a full-scale automotive machining factory team, they have selected a special Spring steel that offers an optimal balance of strength and durability. The chassis features ultra-flat precision grinding with nanometer-level accuracy and a mirror-finish surface treatment for exceptional performance and consistency. Designed to be used with 120-degree flat head screws, it no longer requires special custom screws, greatly improving cost efficiency and ease of availability.

Designed with a more balanced torsional flex characteristic, the black-coated X4-V2 chassis delivers increased overall stability and a more linear chassis response under load. Compared to the more aggressive flex profile of the original version, the updated design provides improved mid-corner support, more predictable weight transfer and enhanced rear-end consistency, especially under high-grip and high-power conditions. Well suited to modern modified touring car racing, the chassis shows its advantages on high-grip carpet tracks and in long main events where consistency and drivability become critical. While the original chassis focuses on maximum flex and rotation, the V2 version represents a more refined and controlled flex philosophy, offering a modern balance between steering response, rear traction and overall chassis stability.

The Spring Steel Chassis package DOES NOT include the 120 Degree Screw Set

Please read the following information:

Because the steel plate is only 1.2 mm thick, it cannot be installed using traditional 90-degree countersunk screws. Our chassis plate must be installed with 120-degree countersunk M3 flat-head screws. (Using non-120-degree screws will enlarge the holes and cause permanent damage to the plate.)

Although you may find this type of screw on the market, we strongly recommend using our Takashima D-13 factory-custom screws for the best installation results.

Our custom screws feature:

1. Each screw specification is manufactured with its own independent mold. The precision surpasses mass-produced screws of the same size, ensuring that once installed on the steel plate, the screw head sits perfectly flush without any protrusion, preventing deformation of the plate.
2. The screws are made of carbon steel with a silver-coated surface and have a strength rating of 12.9. The recommended tightening torque for all M3 screws is 0.8 N·m to achieve longer service life and better resistance to frequent assembly and disassembly.
3. The depth of the screwdriver engagement has been specially adjusted to ensure the recess is deep enough for secure tightening, reducing the chance of stripping.

Due to the natural physical properties of steel, rust may occur, especially after the anti-rust coating on the plate wears down. This is a normal phenomenon, and we kindly ask for your understanding.
