Reduce Shell Movement with Tamiya 42331 Tape

Hobbyists seeking a tidier shell fit will find the Tamiya 42331 - TRF 20x230mm Sponge Tape useful for closing the gap between polycarbonate bodies and urethane bumpers. The sponge cushioning helps limit lateral movement and prevents scuffing at contact points.

How the Sheets Are Supplied

The pack contains one 2mm sheet and two 3mm sheets, each 20x230mm, so you can choose thinner or thicker padding as required. This arrangement makes it easy to fine tune how the body sits on the chassis without permanent alterations.

Practical Advantages for Track Use

Versatile Compatibility: Fits many body shapes and bumper styles, making it a handy fitment across different cars.
Durable Material: The sponge resists regular mounting and keeps providing edge protection.
Easy Installation: Trim to length and place between the body and bumper for a quick fit improvement.

Is the tape suitable for competitive touring cars?

Yes. For touring cars you may prefer thinner layers or a single 2mm strip to maintain low ride height while removing body play.

Can I glue the sponge for permanent fit?

You can use a light adhesive if you want a permanent fix, but most users simply sandwich the strips between the body and bumper for easy removal and adjustment.

How do I trim the tape cleanly?

Use a sharp hobby knife or scissors and score the strip before cutting. Hold the strip firmly to avoid frayed edges and test fit before final trimming.
