Tamiya 15242 Super X FRP reinforcing plate overview

The Tamiya 15242 Super X FRP Reinforcing Plate is a compact stiffener aimed at Mini 4WD builders who want to tighten chassis behaviour. Made from FRP, the plate adds structural support where racers need it most, helping the car stay consistent lap after lap.

Compatibility and intended fit

This FRP reinforcing plate is manufactured to work with the Super X chassis family. It fits in common stay positions to bolster the front, rear or side mounting points, improving rigidity without a major rebuild.

On-track benefits for racers

When fitted, the Super X FRP Reinforcing Plate reduces unwanted flex during aggressive cornering and at high speed. That translates into steadier handling through chicanes and more predictable exits on straights, useful for fine-tuning race setups.

Why racers add this part

For competitors looking to eke out performance gains, the Tamiya 15242 plate is a low-cost way to improve durability and control. It integrates easily with standard Super X parts and is a practical upgrade for tuning chassis balance.

The plate is designed for the Super X family and fits the typical front, rear or side stay mounting areas found on those chassis layouts.
Expect reduced chassis flex which often makes steering more consistent. The exact effect depends on your tyre choice, suspension setup and motor tuning.
Basic RC tools like a small screwdriver and fine files are usually enough. Some builders trim or prep mounting holes for a precise fit.
Keep the plate clean and check mounting screws after races. Tighten hardware as needed and inspect for cracks after impacts.
