Precision Handling with the Tamiya 53166 F.R.P. Chassis

The Tamiya 53166 F.R.P. Chassis Set is aimed at enthusiasts seeking tighter handling from their TA02 and FWD models. Fabricated from Fiber Reinforced Plastic (F.R.P.), the chassis reduces unwanted flex and sharpens the car's responses on the circuit.

What F.R.P. Adds to Your Setup

F.R.P. improves torsional rigidity without a heavy weight penalty, which helps maintain consistent contact and predictable steering through repeated laps.

Installation and Compatibility Considerations

Designed to line up with Tamiya TA02 and FWD fittings, the chassis installs using standard fasteners. Check clearances around the drivetrain and electronics when completing the swap.

The chassis keeps the original mounting geometry, so most upgraded suspension arms that fit TA02 and FWD should remain compatible, but verify clearances for your specific parts.
Expect reduced chassis flex which typically leads to crisper turn-in and steadier mid-corner balance; small shock or roll bar adjustments may be needed to suit personal preference.
Inspect mounting screws for correct torque and check for any rubbing on electronics or driveline components after fitting the new plate. Regular checks after racing keep performance consistent.
