Narrow and LCG (low center of gravity) chassis

Super narrow chassis

Low center of gravity

Super narrow chassis

Main priority of designing the narrow chassis is improving the drivability of the car by having the short Lipo battery and inline layout of the equipments (battery, ESC, reciever) to be mounted on the center as much as possible.
Thanks to the narrow chassis(79mm width), smoother roll action and more conering speed are acheived than ever as well as reduce the risk of contact to the surface of the track.
In addition, narrow design of the chassis allow to fit many type of body in the market.

LCG possibility

Upper plate can be lowered 5mm with using short Lipo/19mm height battery
which make even more LCG and improve the potencial of the car.
Short Lipo/25mm height battery also can be mounted.

High pivot position and FRP side bar rear suspention

1.2t Black FRP products sidebar

High type rear pivot

Importance of mechanical grip

F1 chassis requires more mechanical grip due to less downforce from the body compare
to other category so the potencial of the car influnces the performance directly.
TRG112 was seriously considered to design for maximum mechanical grip.

Benefit of side bar

Heritagelly develped since TRG109, 111,112 and TRG114,
new USA black FRP side bar system makes the F1 chassis to have ideal mechanical grip and traction.
Simply can change the charactoristic of the side bar functionaly by different way of connecting and O-ring.
Additionally, different type of side bar(thickness, material) can be used to suit for any kind of conditions.
Specially designed for TRG114, 65mm pitch side bar can mount not only paralel laout
but also active angle link position.

The side bar from TRG109(80mm),TRG111(88mm) and TRG112 can be used on TRG114.
The side bar from TRG114(65mm) can not be used on both TRG109 and TRG111.

Pivot position

The combination of narrow chassis and high pivot position make the potencial limit much higher than ever
resulting the traction contorol much easier for the driver as well as more benefit by driving.

Low pivot position performs better on very low grip condition.
TRG114 allow to adapt low pivot position easily as option.

Equipped with battery variation

Short Lipo 19mm thickness

Short Lipo (Life) 26mm thick

Long Lipo (Life) 26mm thick

"Shortstop Lipo" which is most suitable for next-generation F1

The battery is very important in designing the F1 chassis.
TRG stimulated the development of the chassis for exclusive use of short Lipo as the pitcher
and the catcher for next-generation F1 quickly.
Length of short Lipo has difficult that piling it up takes chassis balance,
and there was a limit in the conventional suspension system.
A chassis with the superior suspension is a union card to draw a merit of the short Lipo length heaping up.
TRG114 evolved which I succeeded from TRG109,111,112 which I piled it up,
and drew a merit of the battery long.
The suspension that I made use of a characteristic of short Lipo in realizes quick pitching
and the control of the roll, I realized speed and driveability in a high dimension.

Battery

Short Lipo/19mm and 25mm height, 1 cell Lipo, conventional 2cell Lipo/2cell LiFe battery cab be used
It can be lowered by 5mm over from an upper plate with short Lipo/19mm
which have a huge advantage of performance.

With Conventional 2cell Lipo or 2cell LiFe, a receiver or the ESC can be mount on both sides with radio plate.
The radio plate can be adjusted back and forth.

Mechanical mounting example

New Dual rear roll shock

Dual rear roll shock

The friction tube type shock allow fine tuning and setups simply by applying the different type(viscosity) of the grease (oil).

Newly designed dual roll shock piston performs more precise and flexible with both ends O-ring for less leaking.

New roll spring are added for better roll control aggressively and can be adjusted the clearance by turning the shock case easily.

  • Included roll spring is soft type.
  • Hard type roll spring will be an option.

Dual rear roll shock makes the car stable at any condition of cornering, rolling and pitching movement effectively.

Precise roll controls and effects are principle and required to influence the better performance specially for narrow designed chassis.
Ball guide system meets these demands and redesigned positions of components achieve even better effects and accurate functions.

Roll control for built-in spring

Split type piston

Equipped with O-ring on the piston both ends

Dual steering arm system

DW steering system

Low profile servo only

Steering linkage ideal

Dual steering arm system

For the direct steering linkage from a conventional direct servo say bar, An ideal steering linkage having few by Ackerman change is possible.

It becomes obedient, and drivenness in this way improves the steering properties without one of a habit.

  • It is going to release it as a unit available for of Tamiya F103 origin and ,TRF101 father of F104 origin.

Other servo mount methods

In TRG114, a servo mount for TRG112 is available other than standard low pro servo stacking.

Adjustable front link suspension

Wide type (200mm)

New lower suspension end

W ball kingpin

Adjustable front link suspension

Fully adjustable for camber and caster angle.
Having the best front tire grip related with better weight balance.
Simple design with W-ball kingpin, turn-buckle upper arm.
Light weight and easy maintenance.

Suspension arm bush

New front low suspension arm is added with new bush which make the car for better steering response.

Proper use of the F103 normal type front suspension

Use with F103 standard type front suspention
Tamiya F103(F104W) standard front suspention can be mount onto TRG114 chassis.
The situation () that should  contrary to the above
When the choice of the front tire is limited by regulation, F103 standard suspention
may have a good result by making not let a front tire so much work.

One-piece upper plate and the lower rear brace

New one-piece upper plate

New Rear Lower Brace

One-piece upper plate

2.0mm thickness of carbon.
In order to take advantage of the characteristics of the main chassis 2.5mm thick, is provided with a slit in the front part, it does not interfere with the twist of the main chassis,
characteristics similar to short upper type can be obtained.
Without having to spoil the flexibility of the front, and I balanced to ensure the pitching stiffness.

That unlike TRG112 traditional, which makes it possible to connect in two places of the center, further, the connection of two places on the front side, in a disconnected
change of broader roll characteristic is now possible.

If installed, the lower the top 5mm from the upper plate can be a short Lipo/19mm.
This will be very advantageous in running characteristics.

  • The upper plate of TRG114, it can not be used as is in TRG112.

Rear Lower Brace

2.5mm thick of carbon.
New design while maintaining the rigidity strength, added a shade motor terminal.
In addition, I have established a weight mounting space to the rear end.

  • Can be installed as is also TRG112.

Adjuster bulldog steering upright

Standard kit trail 1.2/2.4 (TRG5108)

TRG5105 trail 0 / +3.6 (optional)

Characteristic of the adjuster bulldog steering upright

It is the actual steering upright which was shipped with in TRG111,112.
I am highly precise and am the high-strength steel axle blocking department and light weight, separate type of the high-stiffness carbon arm part.
The thickness of the main body of steering upright is 7.5mm.
Because it is offset by a top and bottom course, the axle is equivalent to a narrow path tire.
I can choose a trail 1.2mm and 2.4mm only with this set by reversing top and bottom by an axle block.
I can fix a kingpin with an enamel screw and minimize the gutter of the steering upright circumference.
