Tamiya 15497 HG Carbon Reinforcement Plate - 1.5mm for 13/19mm rollers  [15497]

Tamiya 15497 HG Carbon Reinforcing Plate - low profile support

The Tamiya 15497 HG Carbon Reinforcing Plate provides lightweight but rigid reinforcement for Mini 4WD roller points. Made from high-grade carbon fibre, the plate helps preserve alignment and resist impact damage during aggressive runs.

Design and fitment features

Engineered to accept both 13mm and 19mm rollers, the plate includes clear roller diameter markings and a printed Tamiya logo to simplify setup checks. The layout lets you experiment with roller positions while keeping repeatable reference points.

On-track benefits

Adding carbon reinforcement reduces unwanted flex around rollers, which can stabilise corner entry and retention of speed through curves. These plates are suitable for both Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO frames, though larger roller choices may require minor body clearance work.

Fitting advice

Installation is simple with the supplied screws and washers. If you plan to run thicker rollers or low-clearance bodies, check for interference and be prepared to adjust the chassis or body mounts for best results.
