M4WD-16 carbon flat stay plate for Mini 4WD projects

An aftermarket carbon multi-roller flat plate built for compatibility with Tamiya Mini 4WD stay arrangements. The flat, one-piece carbon plate gives a rigid platform for mounting several roller setups used on front, rear or side stays, ideal for hobbyists tuning handling or preparing neat display builds.

Design notes: the single-plane layout keeps roller axes aligned to reduce sideways play without needing stacked stay parts. Because carbon is stiffer than common plastics, expect handling changes on chassis such as Super-II, MA, MS, AR, FM-A and VS; confirm fit and tune accordingly.

Installation considerations: check the hole layout and choose appropriate fastener lengths to clear rollers and spacers, add washers to spread load, and confirm rotation clearance for each roller position prior to full assembly.

Care and maintenance: while carbon is long lasting, it can delaminate if overloaded; avoid overtightening screws and inspect for edge wear after use. Clean carefully and steer clear of harsh solvents that might damage bonded components.

Compatibility rests on hole spacing and post diameter; many modelers adapt the plate using matching screws and spacers, but measuring first is recommended.
The plate is optimised for single-plane roller layouts; stacked assemblies are possible but may need extra spacing and careful clearance checks to avoid contact.
Carbon raises structural stiffness which can reduce lateral give; this can improve response or make chassis harsher depending on setup, so test changes progressively.
Use correct-length M3 screws with washers and moderate torque, and employ spacers where rollers require clearance to prevent point loading.
Yes, the slim carbon look is a common choice for collectors seeking a tidy, low-profile finish on display Mini 4WD cars.
