Engineered handling in the TG10-Mk.1 PRO platform

Model racers seeking precise on-road behaviour will find the Tamiya 49172 TG10-Mk.1 PRO Long Suspension Version an appealing kit to build and tune. This nitro touring car kit features an extended suspension arrangement and the standard Tamiya body for aerodynamic trimming.

Frame composition and suspension details

The TG10-Mk.1 PRO combines a 3mm duralumin chassis plate with a 2mm carbon fibre top deck to deliver controlled rigidity. Independent double wishbone suspension at each corner aids predictable turn-in and stable exits on smooth tarmac tracks.

Body styling and wheels

Supplied with black five-spoke wheels and slick tyres, the polycarbonate body keeps weight low while offering a tough outer surface suitable for club and regional race use.

Powertrain compatibility and gearing

The kit is made for a glow engine installation (engine sold separately), giving tuners flexibility in choosing their powerplant. With an 8.1:1 gear ratio fitted, the balance between acceleration and top speed is suited to a variety of race formats.

The Tamiya 49172 TG10-Mk.1 PRO Long Suspension Version is well suited to racers who prioritise chassis feedback and enjoy refining setup for lap time gains.

This kit is aimed at intermediate to advanced builders due to engine fitting and setup complexity, though an organised beginner could complete it with time and guidance.
It is optimised for dry, sealed surfaces; wet conditions reduce grip with slick tyres so consider wet-weather tyres and protective measures to avoid water ingress.
Tamiya offers replacement parts for common wear items and chassis components, making maintenance and repair straightforward for long-term ownership.
Adjust roll centre, tyre pressure, and camber settings, and experiment with sway bar stiffness to tweak front-rear balance for cleaner cornering.
