Improve Front Stability on the TRF418

The Tamiya 3404028 front damper stay is precision cut from 3.5mm carbon fibre reinforced plastic to work with the TRF418 chassis. It increases structural stiffness at the front end so suspension behaviour becomes more predictable when pushed hard.

Less Flex, More Precision

This CFRP stay is stiffer than standard plastic parts, reducing unwanted movement in the front tower area. That reduced flex helps the car respond cleaner to steering inputs and keeps setup changes more consistent lap to lap.

Simple Swap for Immediate Gains

As a direct replacement for the stock stay, this part fits the TRF418 without alterations. It is ideal for racers who want a quick, reliable upgrade to front-end rigidity.

Can I use this on a modified TRF418 with aluminium shock towers?

Yes, it pairs well with upgraded towers and helps preserve setup precision, but check for any clearance issues with custom assemblies before final fitment.

Will this make the car nervous at high speed?

When combined with appropriate spring and damper settings, the added stiffness typically improves stability rather than making the car nervous. Tuning may be needed for your track conditions.

Is the material resistant to impact damage?

CFRP is strong and resists deformation, but like all carbon parts it can crack on severe impact. Inspect after heavy crashes and replace if damaged.

Does installation affect ride height or geometry?

The stay is a direct replacement so it should not change ride height. Small geometry shifts can occur due to increased stiffness, so recheck settings after fitting.
