Lightweight front end upgrade for Mini 4WD

The Tamiya 15548 Jr 2mm Carbon Wide Front Plate with Sliding Dampers is a precision carbon component aimed at racers and hobby builders who want a lighter, stiffer front end. Fabricated from high grade carbon fiber, this plate is about 40% lighter and more rigid than the aluminum front plate found in Item 15469, and it carries the "MINI 4WD / HIGH GRADE CARBON" marking alongside the Tamiya logo for an authentic finish.

Roller compatibility and chassis fit

Multiple mounting holes let you run 9mm, 13mm, 17mm, or 19mm rollers so you can tune cornering and stability. The plate fits a broad set of chassis types including MA, MS, VZ, FM-A, AR, VS, and Super-II, though some chassis or body trimming may be required for the best clearance.

Sliding damper pairing and setup tips

For true sliding damper action you need to pair this plate with the separately sold Item 15469 Wide Front Sliding Damper. Use lightweight rollers and precise mounting to take advantage of the plate's reduced mass while keeping setup balance for race conditions.

Start with 13mm rollers to get a baseline on stability, then test 9mm for quicker transitions or 17mm/19mm for higher cornering support depending on your track lines.
It fits many chassis types listed, but some bodies and front sections may need trimming or minor drilling to avoid interference with wide rollers or damper parts.
Wipe down with a soft cloth after runs, check mounting screws for tightness, and inspect for delamination after heavy impacts; carbon is light but can crack under severe load.
