Tamiya 15498 HG Carbon Wide Front Plate 1.5mm - Stiff Mini 4WD Front Brace  [15498]

Overview for Racers

The Tamiya 15498 HG Carbon Wide Front Plate is a 1.5mm carbon fibre front brace designed to add stiffness and improve handling on competitive Mini 4WD cars. Its rigid construction helps reduce unwanted flex so the chassis keeps a more consistent shape during high speed laps.

Fitment and Compatibility Notes

This wide front plate fits common chassis types including MA, MS, AR, VS, Super-II, and Super XX. It provides mounting holes for rollers sized 9mm, 11mm, 13mm and 19mm, so you can adapt roller positions to your setup. The plate also carries the printed Tamiya logo and roller markings; in some cases minor chassis or body trimming may be required for precise installation.

Track Effects

Fitting the carbon plate typically improves front-end rigidity and reduces flex, which helps maintain speed through corners and over jumps. Racers aiming to fine-tune handling will find it useful for track tuning where a firmer front section is advantageous.
