Reduce Rear Flex on the TRF417V5

The Tamiya 3404014 Rear Damper Stay is a 3.5mm replacement plate that helps the TRF417V5 maintain rear geometry under load, improving predictability in fast corners. It is aimed at drivers looking for a tougher rear mounting solution without complex mods.

Consistent Handling with Improved Support

Constructed to stand up to demanding use, this stay adds support to the rear suspension and reduces unwanted movement. The selected thickness balances strength and weight so handling remains responsive while roll is controlled.

Straightforward Fitment for Hobbyists

Specifically made for the TRF417V5, the damper stay installs using the original mounting points. Fitting is generally quick with common tools, letting you test changes on track without major downtime.

Will this improve lap times?

A stiffer rear can improve consistency and corner exit, which may translate to better lap times for drivers who tune the rest of their setup accordingly.

Does it add much weight to the car?

At 3.5mm thickness the plate adds some mass but is selected to provide stiffness while minimising weight gain. Overall handling benefits usually outweigh the small weight increase.

Any advice for first time installers?

Keep original fasteners and check thread condition before refitting. Tighten evenly and recheck alignment after initial runs to ensure no unexpected handling issues.

Can I combine this with other chassis braces?

Yes, but combining multiple stiffening parts changes how the chassis flexes. Make incremental changes and test to find the best combination for your driving style.
