Stiffen your TA04 with the Tamiya 53466 carbon fiber lower deck

For club and competitive drivers wanting a stiffer TA04, the Tamiya 53466 Carbon Fiber Lower Deck delivers improved torsional rigidity and crisper handling. Made from premium carbon fiber, it reduces unwanted chassis flex while keeping weight to a minimum for better lap-to-lap consistency.

Key Performance Points

Material: High-strength carbon fiber for long-lasting stiffness
Compatibility: Made specifically for the Tamiya TA04 chassis
Dimensions: Length: 318 mm, Width: 105 mm, Thickness: 1.6 mm

The carbon fiber structure lowers mass and raises structural integrity, so steering response and cornering precision feel more consistent during races.

Included Parts and Fitment

The kit contains the hardware needed for a straightforward installation:

One Carbon Fiber Chassis Deck
Two Center Posts
Eight 3x16 Self-Tapping Screws
Fifteen 3x10 Self-Tapping Screws
Two 3x12 Round Head Screws
Four 3x8 Flat Head Screws

With these parts you can swap the deck into a TA04 without hunting for extra fasteners.

Will this deck fit other Tamiya models?

This deck is purpose-built for the TA04 platform. Other Tamiya models are likely to require modification to fit correctly, so check mounting points before attempting a swap.

How does the 53466 deck affect vehicle weight?

Carbon fiber typically cuts weight compared to heavier stock materials, but the exact change depends on your current setup and hardware. The main benefit is improved stiffness to weight ratio rather than dramatic mass savings.

Any tips for installing the carbon fiber deck?

Use the included screws and center posts, align the deck carefully, and start screws by hand. Avoid over-tightening and consider a light threadlocker on metal-to-metal fasteners if you race frequently.
