Carbon Reinforced Lower Deck for TB-04 Chassis

The Tamiya 54596 Carbon Reinforced Lower Deck is a solid upgrade for TB-04 owners who run on high grip surfaces and want firmer chassis response. Built from carbon fiber reinforced resin, it offers greater rigidity than the stock fiberglass lower deck, helping to stabilise the car and sharpen steering inputs.

Fitment and Assembly Advice

This lower deck is made to align with TB-04 chassis mounting points for a direct fit. For best results, pre-tap the screw holes with a 3mm thread forming tap to ensure secure screws and reduce the chance of damaging the chassis during installation.

How Carbon Affects Handling

Using a carbon reinforced lower deck reduces unwanted flex and can improve cornering precision and mid-corner stability. Racers seeking repeatable lap times will find the chassis behaviour more predictable compared to the standard fiberglass part.

Yes, the Tamiya 54596 fits TB-04 chassis variants. If your build has oversized electronics or custom mounts, double check clearance before final assembly.
A 3mm thread forming tap is recommended to pre-tap the screw holes; standard RC hand tools are otherwise sufficient.
The increased stiffness can alter balance and corner entry feel, so you may need small suspension or tyre adjustments to regain preferred handling.
