Overview of Tamiya 15499 HG Carbon Wide Rear Plate

The Tamiya 15499 HG Carbon Wide Rear Plate is a thin 1.5mm carbon fibre component that stiffens Mini 4WD frames for cleaner handling. Its marked roller positions and visible Tamiya branding make it straightforward to set up for competitive running.

Which Chassis Are Compatible

This rear plate is compatible with MA, MS, AR, VS, Super-II, Super XX and Super TZ-X chassis, though some layouts may need slight adjustment to match body mounts. The plate accepts 9, 11, 13, 17 and 19mm rollers so you can tune roll contact to the course.

Practical Benefits on the Circuit

Fitting the HG Carbon Wide Rear Plate reduces unwanted flex and helps maintain wheel alignment under load, contributing to more predictable corner entry and exit. It is a helpful upgrade when chasing consistent lap times and smoother handling.

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with Mini 4WD assembly. Follow existing screw points and verify clearance for rollers before final tightening.
Carbon fibre is lightweight but built for stiffness, so you may see a small net weight change depending on the parts it replaces. The main effect is improved rigidity rather than significant weight loss.
Yes, the plate is compatible with common hop-ups. Just verify hole alignment and roller clearance when combining multiple upgrades.
