TRG working on budget pan car kit
Japanese company TRG, know for their highly complex F104 and F103 conversion kits, such as the TRG114, are currently working on a simple pan car chassis for Tamiya front and rear axles. The prototype shows a 1-piece fibre glass chassis with an integrated rear power pod as part of the main chassis rather than a 2-piece solution as seen on the original F104 and F103 cars. Cut-outs left and right make for a “T-bar” design that allows the motor pod to flex as it is needed to create rear traction and side-bite. The front and rear of the chassis take F103 200mm (and we guess also F104 190mm) suspension parts and the car is designed for the use with GT and sports car type of bodyshells. The car/chassis is still in prototype stages and we bring you more information as we get them.
