Competition Grade Carbon Lower Deck for TRF420

The Tamiya 42348 TRF420 Carbon Lower Deck is manufactured from 2.25mm carbon fibre to stiffen the chassis and refine handling behaviour. It is intended as a direct fit replacement to restore or upgrade factory performance.

Performance Gains from Carbon Fibre

Carbon fibre increases torsional stiffness without excessive weight, helping to reduce chassis flex that can upset steering precision. The result is more repeatable steering and improved corner exit traction.

Compatibility and Replacement Guidance

Specifically produced for the TRF420 chassis, this lower deck matches original mounting points and geometry. Inspect screw threads and adjacent components during installation to avoid stress concentrations.

You should notice firmer chassis behaviour and more consistent turn in. Exact changes depend on your suspension, tyres and setup, so small tuning adjustments may be needed.
You can apply surface finishes or light paint, but avoid heavy coatings that add weight. Use compatible paints and test on a spare sample if possible.
Regularly inspect mount points and edges for cracks or delamination after hard impacts. Replace at the first sign of structural damage to maintain safe handling.
