Tamiya 15549 Jr HG 2mm Carbon Wide Rear Plate - Lightweight Mini 4WD Stay  [15549]

Tamiya 15549 Jr HG 2mm Carbon Wide Rear Plate Overview

The Tamiya 15549 Jr HG 2mm Carbon Wide Rear Plate is a practical upgrade for Mini 4WD builders focused on reducing mass and improving tuning options. Made from carbon fiber, this rear plate replaces heavier metal stays to help refine speed and handling on competitive circuits.

Construction and Roller Compatibility

Manufactured from high grade carbon fiber at a 2mm thickness, this plate is about 40% lighter than comparable aluminium stays while retaining torsional stiffness for stability at speed. The design includes multiple mounting holes that accept 9mm, 13mm, 17mm, and 19mm rollers so you can experiment with different roller setups to match track lines.

Chassis Fit and Setup Notes

The Tamiya 15549 fits a broad selection of chassis types including MA, MS, VZ, FM-A, AR, VS, and Super-II. Some chassis and shell combinations may need small adjustments to achieve an ideal fit, which is common when tailoring a Mini 4WD to a particular track or driving style.

Finish and Care

The plate carries white "MINI 4WD / HIGH GRADE CARBON" lettering and the Tamiya logo for a clean race-ready look. Avoid using harsh cleaners on the printed areas, as aggressive solvents can damage the markings during maintenance.
