Carbon Upper Deck Upgrade for TRF420 Chassis

The Tamiya 42347 TRF420 Carbon Upper Deck delivers added stiffness to the chassis for steadier cornering. Cut from 2mm carbon fiber, this part balances toughness and lightness for enhanced control at speed.

Compatibility Notes and Fitting

Designed specifically for the TRF420 platform, this upper deck slots into the original layout for a tidy installation. Consult the Tamiya R/C Parts Matching List to confirm fit on different TRF420 variants.

Why Use a 2mm Carbon Plate?

At 2mm thickness carbon gives a useful increase in torsional rigidity while keeping mass minimal. The result is improved steering precision and better feedback through the chassis during aggressive runs.

Upkeep and Replacement Guidance

Check the upper deck after crashes or regular service intervals and swap it out if you find structural damage. Keeping the deck sound helps maintain predictable handling and prolongs component life.

Does this part fit converted or modified TRF420 builds?

It fits the standard TRF420 mounting pattern. If your build uses nonstandard holes or custom braces, double check dimensions before installing.

How does carbon compare to aluminium decks?

Carbon is lighter and more vibration dampening, while aluminium is stiffer in some modes. Carbon tends to give a more responsive, lively feel which many racers prefer.
