Carbon flat plate M4WD-16 for Mini 4WD stay setups

This carbon multi-roller flat plate is an aftermarket replacement made to work with Tamiya Mini 4WD stay systems. Machined carbon gives a firmer mounting surface for several roller layouts used on front, rear, or side stays and suits both track-focused builders and display collectors.

Design notes: the single-plane flat plate keeps rollers aligned in one level to help control sideways motion without needing stacked stays. As a carbon component it is significantly stiffer than many stock plastic stays and can alter handling on performance chassis like Super-II, MA, MS, AR, FM-A, and VS. Check stay post spacing and hardware fit before final installation.

Installation considerations: confirm hole pitch and screw length for your chosen stay posts, use washers or thin spacers to avoid concentrated loading on bearings or rollers, and verify free rotation at each roller location. Collectors will appreciate the slim carbon finish, while active builders often combine this plate with tuned rollers and small dampers.

Care and maintenance: carbon is robust but can delaminate under excessive stress; avoid over-torquing fasteners and inspect edges after running. Clean with a soft brush and mild cleaner, and avoid strong solvents that may affect bonded finishes.

Fit depends on hole spacing and post diameter; many hobbyists use matching screws and spacers to adapt the plate to Tamiya stays. Measure before fitting to avoid surprises.
Yes, the plate supports multiple roller positions. Use appropriate bushings or spacers to maintain alignment and clearance for each roller size.
Carbon increases stiffness compared with many plastics, which can reduce lateral compliance on race chassis. Introduce changes gradually and test handling on track.
Standard M3 or Tamiya-compatible screws and nuts are typical; pick lengths that clear rollers and spacers without bottoming out or stressing the plate.
Protect edges with thin tape or small rubber bumpers where contact is likely, and avoid aggressive sanding that could expose carbon fibers.
