Upgrade the XV-01 Front with Graphite Precision

The Tamiya 54452 RC XV-01 Carbon Damper Stay Front is a direct replacement for the stock plastic damper stay on XV-01 chassis. Fabricated from 3.5mm graphite, it increases front-end stiffness while reducing mass by 2.1 grams, helping the model turn in more responsively.

Model Fit and Visual Finish

This carbon stay fits a variety of XV-01 variants, including XV-01 PRO, XV-01 TC and XV-01 T. The black graphite gives added strength to damper mounts and a discreet, race-oriented appearance that complements factory parts.

Fitting Guide

Replacing the original stay is a simple task using the existing screw locations. Be sure to secure screws evenly and inspect the mounting area during routine checks to keep the part performing reliably.

Will the carbon stay alter my steering feel?

Yes, the increased rigidity from the graphite stay typically produces a more direct steering feel and sharper response from the shocks. Drivers often fine tune damping to match the firmer platform.

Can I reuse the stock screws when fitting this part?

The carbon stay uses the same mounting pattern as the original, so stock screws can be reused. Ensure they are in good condition and tighten them evenly to avoid stress on the graphite.

Is the 2.1 gram saving significant for handling?

While 2.1 grams is a small absolute change, relocating or reducing mass at the front can make the car feel livelier and improve turn-in, especially on sensitive set-ups.
