Tamiya 15472 FRP Wide Front Plate - purpose and fit

The Tamiya 15472 FRP Wide Front Plate helps stabilise Fully Cowled Mini 4WD cars by providing a wider, stiffer mounting point at the front. It is aimed at hobbyists who want measurable handling gains without heavy modification.

Materials and fitment

Built from FRP for a good strength-to-weight ratio, the plate supports 9mm, 13mm or 19mm rollers so you can tune front contact points. It mates well with most fully cowled shells; some non fully cowled bodies may need small adjustments to accept the mounts.

Handling benefits on track

Fitting this wide front plate lets you try different roller spacings to reduce snatch through corners and keep the car settled on the lane. Supplied screws and washers shorten build time, and the item works with both Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO platforms.

Yes. The plate is straightforward to fit using basic tools and the included hardware, making it a good first performance upgrade for newcomers.
Low friction rollers, lightweight wheels and tuned motor gearing pair well. For higher speed tracks, add stabiliser stays to complement the wider front mounting.
Inspect screws regularly, avoid over-tightening, and wipe the plate clean after dusty sessions to prevent abrasive wear on mounting points.
