GT500 Rear Body Mount Plate Carbon Graphite - YOKGT-05G by Yokomo  [YOKGT-05G]

GT500 rear body mount overview

This rear body mount plate is an RC-scale replacement part designed for the Yokomo GT500 family of chassis. It is made from carbon graphite to keep weight down while maintaining structural rigidity at the rear body mounting area. The plate's role is focused on consistent body alignment and repeatable mounting geometry rather than changing suspension or drivetrain characteristics.

Installation is straightforward for users familiar with GT500 body posts: remove the original rear mount plate, transfer any existing hardware, and secure the YOKGT-05G plate to the factory rear boss locations. Use the same screw locations as the stock plate to preserve original bodyline and clearance; check thread engagement and torque to avoid over-tightening on composite parts.

On the setup side, this plate is a tuning aid for body position and rear-end rigidity. Slight differences in plate stiffness can affect how the rear body interacts with airflow and contact patches during track use, so treat the component as part of body fitment and aerodynamic trimming rather than a direct handling mod to the suspension or motor system.

For GT500 chassis owners seeking a lightweight, rigid rear body mount solution, the YOKGT-05G offers a direct-fit carbon graphite option that prioritizes repeatable body alignment and minimal additional mass.
