Item Summary

The Tamiya 15498 HG Carbon Wide Front Plate is a 1.5mm carbon fibre plate built to strengthen the front end of Mini 4WD models. Its firm construction helps reduce chassis flex so the car maintains predictable behaviour under race conditions.

Compatibility Details

This wide plate works with MA, MS, AR, VS, Super-II and Super XX chassis styles. It offers mounting holes for 9mm, 11mm, 13mm and 19mm rollers and comes with printed roller guides and the Tamiya logo. Some chassis or body trimming may be necessary to achieve a flush fit depending on your build.

Performance Effects

Installing this carbon front plate reduces flex at the nose, which can stabilise handling and help retain speed through corners. It is a sensible upgrade for racers who need a firmer front section without complicating other setup changes.

Generally yes, the plate lists AR as compatible. However, depending on your specific AR setup you may need minor trimming to clear bodywork or accessories.
The plate has holes positioned for rollers of 9mm, 11mm, 13mm and 19mm so you can choose the diameter that best matches your track needs.
Carbon fibre provides stiffness with minimal weight gain compared to metal. Expect a modest mass increase but a noticeable improvement in rigidity.
