Upper graphite bumper designed for TT-01 handling

This graphite upper bumper plate serves as a scale replacement for the TAMIYA TT-01 chassis. Identified as model TT01-M18U, the graphite material increases front mount rigidity without significant mass gain, helping to transmit cleaner steering signals for detailed on-road tuning.

The plate uses the original TT-01 upper bumper mounting locations so stock hardware is commonly retained. No additional drilling is required for typical TT-01 variants; always check for any contact between the bumper and steering parts when the front wheels are at full lock.

In setup terms this upgrade is a simple way to modify nose rigidity. Replacing the factory plastic plate with graphite alters impact response and weight transfer at the front, which you can balance with suspension, damper and toe adjustments for improved turn-in and mid-corner confidence.

It fits the common TT-01 chassis family using the standard upper bumper mounting pattern, but confirm your kit's layout before fitting to ensure compatibility.
Yes, increasing front stiffness can change handling; small adjustments to springs, dampers or toe will usually be needed to regain the desired balance.
Reuse stock hardware where possible, tighten fasteners to recommended settings, and test steering clearance through full travel before running hard laps.
