Track Benefits for Serious Hobbyists

Swapping the stock upper deck for this 2.0mm graphite plate reduces chassis flex and sharpens steering response, helping deliver steadier lap times and improved control at higher speeds.

Will this deck fit other TRF variants?

This upper deck is cut for the TRF417V5 layout; fitment on other TRF versions may require verification of mounting points and standoff positions.

How difficult is installation for a hobbyist?

Installation is straightforward with basic tools; replace the stock deck and reuse original fasteners, taking care to align standoffs to avoid stress points.

Does the graphite affect handling in different temperatures?

Graphite stiffness is largely stable across typical club temperatures, but track grip and suspension setup will influence the net handling change more than material temperature effects.
