Tamiya 53287 TA03 OP-287 Carbon Reinforcing Plate Replacement  [53287]

Strengthen Your TA03 with a Carbon Reinforcing Plate

The Tamiya 53287 - TA03 Carbon Reinforcing Plate, often referenced as OP-287, is an effective upgrade to raise the rigidity of TA03 chassis. Constructed from graphite, the plate helps reduce unwanted flex and supports steadier vehicle behaviour under load.

Why the Carbon Plate Helps Performance

Tailored for the TA03 family, this reinforcing plate provides a firmer platform for suspension components which can improve steering feedback and consistency. The graphite composition keeps weight low while delivering a robust mounting surface.

Fitting Guide and Best Practices

Replacing the original plate is a simple task using the stock mounting hardware. Tighten fasteners evenly and recheck them after a few runs to ensure the plate is seated correctly. The upgrade usually yields better on-line stability and crisper turn-in.
