New Yaiba Parts in production!

New parts coming stateside soon! B4 bellcrank, RB6 motor plate and more!






Tresrey/SP SP-1 F1 Car Specs

Similar to full size F1 cars, the SP-1 F1 1/10th scale chassis utilizes a high quality 3mm streamlined carbon fiber lower chassis, a 2mm upper deck, and lightweight 7075 aircraft grade aluminum. Chassis stiffness can also be fine tuned using 6 chassis spacers depending on track conditions. Aluminum components, such as the rear pod and center shock are anodized with a TRESREY red finish. The SP-1 F1 1/10th scale chassis also allows different lipo battery positions and configurations. The SP-1 can fit regular size 2 cells lipo battery or the shorty 2 cell lipo packs. The SP-1 F1 1/10th scale chassis represents Speed Passion's high quality standards on and off the track as racers can put the chassis' craftsmanship and attention to detail on display.

TYSP025
The SP-1 F1 1/10th scale chassis was designed with a precision balanced rear motor pod. The rear motor pod design ensures allow precise control and balance when entering and exiting corners which allows drivers to easily carve the fastest line around the track. The rear differential utilizes high quality pressure plates along with 18 chrome differential balls for smooth differential action.

TYSP025
The SP-1 F1 1/10th scale chassis suspension is designed with an innovative dual bellcrank steering system that allows the Ackerman to be fine tuned for precision control. The suspension also allows for infinite camber adjustment and 5° and 10° caster blocks for any type of track condition, indoor or outdoor, carpet or asphalt. Optional front springs can be quickly changed as track conditions change. The adjustable track width (front and rear) allows the SP-1 F1 1/10th scale chassis to adapt to the various F1 racing specification throughout the world. The track width can be adjusted to 190mm and lower with rubber tires and can be adjusted to 200mm when using foam tires. With optional parts, the track width can be adjusted the F1 world spec of 185mm. The SP-1 F1 1/10th scale chassis can adapt to various aftermarket foam or rubber tires.

TYSP025
The SP-1 F1 1/10th scale chassis is designed with a centrally located, large volume shock that is attached to a carbon fiber mounting plate. The result of is stability and traction on high speed track sections and total control in small, tight, sections. These characteristics are not easily found on today's crop of F1 chassis'.

High quality option parts for the SP-1 F1 1/10th scale chassis include a full aluminum motor pod, various shores of foam and rubber tires, aluminum preset camber blocks ranging from 0°to -2.5°, and aluminum caster blocks in multiple angles.
Our Chassis will fit many type of F1 ranging from 185-200mm with optional parts.

Specifications:

  • Overall Length: 328mm
  • Overall Width [Front width]: * 185-200mm / [Rear width]: 185-200mm
    (* Some option parts needed for 185mm.)

TRESREY +10 MILLED CHASSIS
COMPARISON TO INDUSTRY STANDARD CHASSIS

By Alex Guerrero

In this report I will define the key differences between an industry standard chassis and the new Tresrey +10 chassis.


Below is an industry standard chassis.  The aluminum generally used is - 6061 T6 which is one of the most common alloys of aluminum for general purpose use.  This aluminum has good strength, however under a strong impact the metal will bend and never comeback to its original shape.

The chassis below started out as a 2mm sheet of aluminum that was put in a metal stamping machine to stamp out the basic shape of the chassis. The key part of this process is how the front caster kick up is made. Most chassis are manually bent up by machine to achieve the degree necessary for the caster kick up. This is where the 6061 T6 aluminum fails to keep its shape under stronger impacts. This is an inexpensive method of producing a chassis but not durable.




Below is a marvel of engineering – Tresrey +10 milled chassis it is constructed of the finest Aluminium alloy 7075 T6 which is an aluminum alloy, with zinc as the primary alloying element. It is strong, with strength comparable to many steels, and has great fatigue strength and has less resistance to corrosion than many other alloys. Its relatively high cost limits its use to applications where cheaper alloys are not suitable. This did not deter Tresrey to produce the highest quality chassis in the world.  Key characteristics are:

  

The Tresrey +10 chassis starts out as a 1 inch thick block of 7075 T6 aircraft grade aluminum and is machined from the ground up on a high precision CNC machine to 3mm thickness instead of the industry standard of 2mm. The Tresrey  +10 Chassis is also lighter weight than the standard Dex210 chassis because of 2 factors:  superior 7076 T6 aluminum and innovative machining techniques that not only provide the lightest weight chassis but also the most durable chassis on the market today.
    

The most important feature unique to the Tresey chassis is the caster kick up.  The 30 degree caster kick up is machined completely rather than bent like most competitors.  This process of machining the caster kick up rather than bending; produces a much more durable kick up which keeps the cars geometry perfect. 



Tresrey +10 chassis for the Dex210  a remarkable feat of RC engineering. You cannot buy a better chassis anywhere in the world.


Chi-Town Classic

The TrakPower ChiTown Shootout in Joliet, Illinois, proved to be a shrewd investment for Team Durango. They flew in drivers Travis Amezcua and Carson Wernimont looking for a few more wins. Travis and Carson delivered wins in full on track and spent their off-track time passing along help and setup tips to other drivers. Teenage driving sensation Carson Wernimont competed hard to mixed results. He qualified a promising second in 4WD Modified Buggy, but ran into lap-traffic woes in the main event and finished out of the money. True to form, he bounced back and won in Modified 2WD Truck driving his DEST210, finishing almost a full lap ahead of the pack. In 2WD Modified Buggy, he ran hard and finished with a podium second behind teammate Amezcua. Amezcua, a 2-year veteran of Team Durango, TQ’d the 4WD Modified Buggy Class, providing spectators with a preview of the A Main to come. He started the race in pole position and never looked back, finishing nearly three-quarters of a lap ahead of the nearest competitor. He switched from his DEX410 to his DEX210 for the 2WD event, using a fourth place start on the grid as a launch pad for a runaway win at the finish. Both drivers also competed in 6-lap “Dash For Cash” events, where Amezcua emerged with first-place finishes in two of the three contests.
