Tamiya 54596 TB-04 Carbon Reinforced Lower Deck Edition  [54596]

Carbon Fibre Lower Deck for the TB-04 Chassis

The Tamiya 54596 Carbon Reinforced Lower Deck is an upgrade item for TB-04 chassis users wanting a firmer base than the original fiberglass part. Made from carbon fibre reinforced resin, it increases structural rigidity and helps the car feel more planted on high grip surfaces.

Compatibility and Fitting Recommendations

This lower deck is tailored for TB-04 mounting points to ensure correct alignment. As good practice, pre-tap the screw holes with a 3mm thread forming tap to secure the fixings and reduce the risk of thread stripping during assembly.

Handling Improvements from Carbon

Replacing the standard lower deck with a carbon reinforced version reduces flex and can lead to crisper turn-in and more predictable mid-corner behaviour. It is a common upgrade for racers chasing steadier lap times.
