Refine MD1.0 Handling with the Yokomo MD-003 Plate

The Yokomo MD-003 Mat Graphite Vertical Upper Plate is engineered for the MD1.0 chassis to improve structural rigidity and deliver cleaner handling feedback. Its graphite build keeps the part light while resisting deformation under load.

What This Plate Does on Track

Fitting this plate reduces unwanted chassis flex so the suspension can operate more predictably, yielding steadier corner exits and improved driver confidence. The mat surface also reduces distracting shine during bright conditions.

Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Is the MD-003 a direct swap for the stock upper plate?

Yes, it is intended as a direct replacement for the standard MD1.0 upper plate, but double-check stack height on custom builds.

Will the graphite plate affect radio interference?

Graphite is conductive but when mounted correctly it does not typically interfere with properly routed antennae; keep electronics isolated per your usual practice.

What setup changes are recommended after fitting?

Expect reduced chassis flex, so you may want to soften differential or rear roll settings slightly and re-evaluate toe and camber for balance.

Can I paint or decal the mat finish?

The mat surface accepts some paints and decals, but prepare the surface correctly and test on a spare piece to ensure adhesion and desired look.
