Tamiya 95106 HG Carbon Reinforcing Plate Set 1.5mm J-Cup 2017 - Lightweight Carbon Kit  [95106]

Intro to the Tamiya 95106 HG Carbon Reinforcing Plate Set

The Tamiya 95106 HG Carbon Reinforcing Plate Set offers thin 1.5mm carbon fibre plates designed to increase the structural strength of Mini 4WD models. Compared to FRP, the carbon material gives around a 50% boost in tensile strength, improving longevity and resistance to deformation while keeping weight down.

Where and how to use these plates

These plates are compatible with popular Mini 4WD chassis such as MA, AR, Super-II and Super XX. They are well suited to racers who want to fine-tune their cars for higher speed or more demanding layouts. The orange Japan Cup 2017 print adds a distinctive finishing touch.

Performance gains on the circuit

Using carbon plates stiffens the chassis, which helps maintain line and balance during fast sections and sudden direction changes. For better rolling behaviour and sharper cornering, consider pairing the plates with aluminium ball-race rollers, for instance Item 15437, available separately.

Fitting tips

Installation is simple and uses the small fittings included in the set to secure the plates to your chassis. They slot into most standard mounting positions with minimal modification.
