Rear upper deck insert engineered for TRF421X

The Factory Pro O-TCP012 rear upper deck is an aftermarket, scale-correct replacement built for the Tamiya TRF421X chassis. Produced from nominal 2mm graphite, the split plate mounts at the rear section of the upper deck to introduce local stiffness while keeping clearance for drivetrain components and suspension movement.

Fit this insert when you want a controllable change to rear-end rigidity as part of broader tuning. Adding graphite alters chassis flex behavior and therefore steering and traction; integrate these changes with adjustments to shock valving, camber angles, and anti-roll settings for best results.

Fitment is straightforward: remove the original rear upper deck panel, position the split graphite piece, and secure it with the chassis' existing fasteners. Avoid over-tightening hardware to protect the graphite, and confirm clearances before use.

Increasing upper deck stiffness shifts how the chassis distributes load during cornering, so expect changes to turn-in and rear traction; retune damping and anti-roll settings to harmonise the setup.
Yes. Graphite is strong but brittle under point loads; tighten fasteners to a moderate spec, avoid crushing the material, and perform a clearance check after installation.
