Carbon Front Damper Stay for the DB-02

The Tamiya 54474 RC DB02 Carbon Damper Stay Front is a replacement for the standard fiberglass reinforced plastic damper stay on the DB-02 chassis. Fabricated from a 3.5mm carbon fibre plate, it increases front-end rigidity so that tuning changes have clearer results on track.

What Carbon Adds to Your Setup

Carbon fibre is prized for providing high stiffness without excessive mass, making it a go-to material for tuning key mounting points. Upgrading to this carbon damper stay reduces unwanted movement and helps retain suspension geometry under load.

How to Install and Look After It

Installing the carbon stay in place of the M1 resin parts is straightforward with regular RC tools. Tighten fasteners evenly to avoid stressing the plate and check the assembly regularly after hard use to ensure longevity.

You may need to fine tune damper damping or spring rates after fitting, since the stiffer mount changes how the suspension responds to bumps and weight transfer.
Original screws are usually fine if they are in good condition. Replace any worn or stripped fasteners and ensure they are not over-tightened when seating the carbon plate.
A stiffer front mount can make handling more consistent, which may help with lap time consistency. Actual gains depend on setup, driving style and track conditions.
