Compact Front Tuning with the Tamiya 15524 FRP Wide Front Plate

The Tamiya 15524 FRP Wide Front Plate is aimed at racers who want a compact, tuneable front setup to sharpen handling. Designed for the VZ chassis, it provides a selection of mounting positions to refine performance.

Design Notes and Chassis Fit

This FRP plate is crafted to fit the VZ chassis while retaining rigidity. It can be installed without the front bumper to help reduce weight, and the drilled pattern accepts a variety of roller sizes to match different race conditions.

Compatibility and Roller Range

The plate is compatible with MA, FM-A, AR, VS, Super X and Super XX chassis, allowing consistent tuning across platforms. It supports rollers from 9mm to 19mm so you can adapt handling to suit high speed or technical tracks.

Installation Pointers

While installation is straightforward for most cars, some body shells may need light trimming to clear the plate. Its flexibility makes it useful for drivers who test incremental changes to handling and clearance.

How does this plate change front stiffness?

The FRP construction adds targeted stiffness to the front of the chassis, which can reduce flex and give a more predictable steering response under load.

Is any trimming required for standard bodies?

Most standard Mini 4WD bodies will fit without major modification, though some low-profile or custom shells may require small trims to avoid contact with the plate.

Can it be used alongside existing front dampers?

The plate does not prevent using front dampers where permitted, but you should check mounting positions and clearances to ensure components do not interfere.

What is a good approach to testing setups?

Make incremental changes to roller size and position, record lap differences, and adjust one variable at a time to identify the best balance for a particular track.
