Stiffen RC Chassis with L-Shaped Plastic Beams

The Tamiya 70199 L-Shaped Plastic Beams give model builders a simple method to add rigidity where it matters. Made from the same lightweight plastic used across Tamiya construction parts, these beams let you reinforce joints and panels without a big weight penalty.

Corner and Torsion Support

The L profile is made to strengthen corners and resist twisting forces, making these beams handy for reinforcing suspension mounts, body mounts, and internal frames. They work well for both scratch builds and careful upgrades where keeping weight low is a priority.

Specifications

  • Width: 3mm
  • Length: 400mm
  • Thickness: 1mm
  • Compatible with plastic model paints and cements
Yes, they are useful for bracing scale crawler chassis and body supports, though you should avoid constant exposure to rough outdoor conditions to preserve material life.
Plastic model cement bonds well, and cyanoacrylate (CA) glue is a common faster option; test on a scrap piece to confirm fit and finish before final assembly.
Trim with a hobby saw or sharp knife and file or fine sandpaper to remove burrs. A light primer helps paint adhesion if you plan to colour-match the beams.
