MP11 Carbon Upper Plate - Kyosho IFW710  [KY-IFW710]

MP11 Carbon Top Deck Overview

The Kyosho IFW710 Carbon Upper Plate is a factory spare made for MP11-series chassis as a carbon top deck option. It replaces the stock upper board to increase torsional stiffness and provides a firmer mounting surface compared with the more compliant factory pieces.

Material and role: crafted from carbon fiber, the plate is intended to reduce upper chassis flex and stabilise suspension and servo geometry while adjusting shocks, anti-roll balance, or roll center settings. This makes setup changes more predictable during testing.

Installation tips: the plate mounts to the MP11's existing factory points, so standard RC workshop tools like hex driver sets are sufficient. Remove the stock upper plate, retain original fasteners if they are in good condition, align the new plate to the factory holes, and tighten screws evenly to avoid inducing twist. Confirm clearance around the servo, ESC, and wiring before the initial run.

Tuning notes: the stiffer top deck typically reduces mid-corner flex, which can yield crisper turn-in and a slightly firmer rear-end feel depending on suspension geometry. Consider the plate as one part of an overall setup plan rather than a single cure for handling problems.

This IFW710 carbon upper plate is a straightforward spare for MP11 owners seeking a firmer top deck for consistent setup work and incremental handling changes.
