Tamiya 53287 TA03 Carbon Reinforcement Plate OP-287 Lightweight Brace  [53287]

Stiffen Your TA03 Chassis with a Carbon Reinforcing Plate

The Tamiya 53287 - TA03 Carbon Reinforcing Plate, also known as OP-287, is a practical chassis upgrade for hobbyists aiming to boost the structural strength of TA03 models. Made from graphite, this reinforcing plate adds rigidity without a large weight penalty, helping the car hold its line during demanding runs.

Benefits for Handling and Durability

Built for the TA03 series, the carbon plate improves torsional stiffness which translates to more consistent steering and predictable cornering. The graphite construction offers a firm mounting surface that helps components resist flex and impacts during both casual driving and competitive sessions.

Quick Installation Notes

Fitting the carbon plate in place of the stock item is straightforward. Make sure mounting screws are torqued evenly and checked after the first few runs to get the best rigidity gains. This small upgrade often results in crisper response and improved chassis feedback on rough tracks.
