TRG 112 1/10th scale F1 chassis

Japanese company TRG have released the 112, their latest 1/10th scale F1 chassis. Available in a wide 200mm version and a regular 180mm version, the main difference between the two is the front suspension parts. The car features a 3mm carbon chassis that is designed to best accept the shorty LiPo, but can also accept full size packs, and is mounted inline with space around the pack for receiver and ESC. The chassis is very narrow at only 79mm and so doesn’t scrub during cornering and because of this design it can accept almost all current and past bodies. Other neat features include dual rear roll dampers, adjustable front suspension links, a single piece top deck, adjustable steering upright and a pretty awesome adjustable servo mount.
