Undertray upgrade details

This RC-scale aluminum rear underguard is produced for the TAMIYA Hornet EVO 58742 chassis and identified as JR-THNE03-LB by Jazrider. The anodized blue unit fits the rear lower section to shield the chassis and modify the rear stiffness characteristics.

As an upgrade the plate reduces wear from track contact and impacts while producing a defined change in lower rear stiffness that drivers can exploit when fine-tuning handling. The listing is explicit about fitment for Hornet EVO 58742 and does not claim universal compatibility.

Fitting notes: the underguard lines up with the Hornet EVO 58742 rear fixing points and keeps the original screw layout and clearances. Installation usually replaces the original plastic plate and warrants checking for any interference with suspension travel or bump stops.

Tuning impact: switching to an aluminum underguard typically increases lower rear rigidity, which can improve corner exit stability but may raise sensitivity to bumps. Use this component together with shock and anti-roll adjustments to preserve a neutral handling balance.

The added lower rear stiffness tends to stabilise the car on corner exits by reducing chassis flex, giving a more predictable throttle response. You may need to tune damping to suit the new bias.
Yes, aluminium transmits impacts differently than plastic, so small hits can feel firmer. Adjusting shock damping and spring rates can mitigate unwanted sensitivity.
Start by softening rear damping slightly and re-evaluating anti-roll bar rates. Make incremental changes and test on your usual surface to find the optimal balance between grip and steering.
