Introduction to the Tamiya 15499 HG Carbon Wide Rear Plate

The Tamiya 15499 HG Carbon Wide Rear Plate is a 1.5mm carbon fibre back plate made to stiffen Mini 4WD chassis and aid tuning precision. The plate is laser marked and shows roller positions to simplify setup and alignment tasks.

Compatibility and Installation Notes

This rear plate is compatible with MA, MS, AR, VS, Super-II, Super XX and Super TZ-X chassis, although some models may require slight modification for a perfect fit. The design includes holes for 9, 11, 13, 17 and 19mm rollers so you can tailor the roll geometry to your racing needs.

On-Track Impact and Setup Advice

Fitting the HG Carbon Wide Rear Plate helps cut chassis flex and reduces vibration, which improves handling under load. Accurate roller placement combined with this plate supports better corner control and steadier lap times for hobbyists and racers alike.

It can be used on modified or hybrid builds but check mounting holes and clearances carefully. Some custom setups may need additional spacers or trimming to fit neatly.
Carbon fibre is more rigid and resists deformation, though edges can fray if damaged. Inspect mounting points regularly and replace if you see any structural cracking.
Confirm roller alignment, torque on screws, and body clearance. Run a few shakedown laps to note handling changes and fine-tune roller sizes or positions as required.
