Lightweight Carbon Lower Deck Upgrade for TA04

The Tamiya 53494 Lightweight Carbon Lower Deck is a precision-engineered replacement for the TA04 main chassis frame. This graphite lower deck cuts overall mass while boosting torsional stiffness, giving racers a more stable platform for fine tuning handling and lap time improvements.

Graphite Build for Strength and Weight Saving

Manufactured from high-grade graphite, the Tamiya 53494 lower deck delivers a durable yet light foundation for your TA04. The material choice helps keep mass down without sacrificing structural integrity, making it suited to tight, competitive on-road environments.

Complete Hardware Pack Included

This kit supplies all parts needed to fit the lower deck, simplifying installation and reducing the need for extra parts:

  • One graphite chassis
  • One aluminum post (33.3mm)
  • Six 3x15mm self-tapping flat head screws
  • Five 3x8mm flat head machine screws
  • Four 3x8mm self-tapping flat head screws
  • One 3x8mm round head machine screw
  • Four 3x15mm self-tapping round head screws
  • Two 3x18mm self-tapping round head screws

Tailored Fit for TA04 Platforms

Designed to suit both standard TA04 and TA04 Pro variants, the lower deck integrates with existing components and mounting points. Its dimensions of 319mm by 140mm provide a direct fit for common TA04 setups.

Specifications

  • Total Length: 319mm (12.6")
  • Widest Width: 140mm (5.51")
  • Tub Height: 12mm (0.47")
  • Chassis Thickness: 2.1mm (0.08")
  • Number of Cells: 6
The swap is straightforward for someone familiar with TA04 layouts. Basic tools and careful tracking of fastener positions make the install manageable in one session.
Replacing the stock lower deck with the graphite 53494 changes the chassis stiffness and reduces weight, which can alter balance. Expect to adjust suspension and weight distribution to dial in handling.
No extra trimming is typically required when fitting to compatible TA04 or TA04 Pro models, provided you use the supplied posts and screws included in the kit.
