Tamiya 54745 TA07 Carbon Reinforced Lower Deck Precision Race Part  [54745]

TA-07 Carbon Reinforced Lower Deck Upgrade

The Tamiya 54745 Carbon Reinforced Lower Deck swaps in for the standard FRP piece on the TA-07 to give a stiffer chassis platform. Manufactured from carbon fibre reinforced nylon resin, the deck reduces unwanted flex and helps produce more consistent handling on high-traction surfaces such as carpet and tarmac. It is a straightforward part for drivers looking to refine chassis behaviour.

Benefits for Control and Response

Adding a carbon-reinforced deck raises torsional stiffness, which tends to sharpen turn-in and stabilise cornering under load. For circuits with lower grip the extra stiffness can make the car feel livelier, so setup adjustments may be needed.

Fitting Tips and Thread Protection

To preserve mounting threads and ease future servicing pre-tap the screw holes. The recommended tool is the Tamiya Item 54232 RC M3x0.5mm Thread Forming Tap, and fitting screws with moderate, even torque will prevent stripping of the resin threads.
