Stiffen the Front End with 3.5mm Graphite

The Tamiya 54452 RC XV-01 Carbon Damper Stay Front replaces the stock plastic stay on the XV-01 chassis. Machined from high quality graphite at 3.5mm thickness, this damper stay adds rigidity to the front assembly while cutting weight by 2.1 grams for improved agility on track or at the local club.

Fitment and Handling Benefits for XV-01

Made to work with a range of XV-01 variants including the XV-01 PRO, XV-01 TC and XV-01 T, the black graphite plate reinforces damper performance and offers a neat, professional finish. Expect a firmer damper response and crisper steering feel after installation.

Simple Installation and Maintenance

Fitting the carbon damper stay is straightforward: swap out the original plastic part and secure with the factory screws. Tighten fasteners evenly and inspect the attachment points during routine maintenance to preserve performance and longevity.

Installation is user friendly and suitable for most hobbyists. It replaces the stock plastic part using the same mounting holes and screws. Make sure bolts are torqued evenly to avoid stress points.
The added stiffness from the 3.5mm graphite stay makes dampers act more predictably, often giving a sharper steering feel. You may want to retune shock oil or spring settings to match your driving preferences.
Graphite offers greater rigidity and typically better long term stiffness than molded plastic, though it can fracture under extreme impact. Regular checks of the mounting area are recommended after heavy use.
