Overview and Purpose

The Tamiya 15495 HG Carbon Reinforcing Plate Set is aimed at Mini 4WD modellers seeking firmer structural support for critical mounting points. The 1.5mm carbon plate is used to reinforce bumpers and roller stays, offering higher resistance to bending than FRP panels.

Construction and Appearance

The carbon finish provides both a clean aesthetic and functional strength. Its straight profile makes the plate straightforward to align and install on different chassis configurations, making it a useful component for tuning balance.

Compatibility and Benefits

The plate fits a variety of chassis types and helps limit deflection during higher speed sections, aiding handling precision. The printed Tamiya logo gives a neat, authentic look to upgraded builds.

What thickness is this plate and why choose it?

This plate is 1.5mm thick, chosen to add meaningful rigidity without adding excessive mass, so it helps improve cornering stability and impact resistance.

Do I need to modify my chassis to fit this plate?

Most standard chassis will accept the plate with little or no modification. Where hole positions differ you may need to drill or use alternate screw positions to achieve a secure fit.

How should I inspect the plate after impacts?

Check for surface cracks, edge damage or loosening of fixings. Replace the plate if you see any signs of delamination or severe impact damage to keep performance consistent.
