This coverage is brought to you by the YouTube channel The Shop – Mini RC, who recently showcased PN Racing’s brand-new pan-style chassis for 1/28 on-road racing. Their first look highlights a platform designed around simplicity, rigidity, and real tuning flexibility.
PN Racing’s new chassis steps away from traditional Mini-Z layouts with a clean, race-focused pan-style design that delivers sharper steering, smoother suspension behavior, and predictable handling on high-grip tracks.
Simplified Build: Fewer Screws, Faster Maintenance
One of the key takeaways is how easy the car is to work on. PN designed this chassis with fewer screws and fewer moving parts, making it quick to assemble, tune, and maintain. Whether you’re making mid-heat adjustments or breaking it down for cleaning, the design keeps everything simple and accessible.
O-Ring Suspension Tuning
The new chassis uses O-rings as part of both the front and rear suspension setup, giving racers a super simple way to tune the car without complicated dampers or multi-piece systems.
From the photo, you can see O-rings used in the front kingpin/spring assembly, showing PN’s goal of keeping adjustments easy and repeatable across the entire chassis, not just the rear pod.
This tuning system is perfect for drivers who want fast, effective setup changes without over complication.
Built for Today’s 1/28 Racers
As the on-road Mini-Z scene grows, PN’s new chassis brings something racers have been asking for:
-
A rigid platform
-
Smooth suspension behavior
-
Easy tuning
-
Fast maintenance
-
Predictable performance
It’s a true race chassis that still feels user-friendly.
PN Racing’s new pan-style chassis looks like a strong contender for competitive on-road racing, simple to build, easy to tune, and engineered for consistent performance. We’ll share more details as PN releases additional info.
