Tamiya 53287 TA03 OP-287 Graphite Chassis Stiffener  [53287]

Carbon Plate Upgrade for TA03 Chassis

The Tamiya 53287 - TA03 Carbon Reinforcing Plate, called OP-287, is a straightforward upgrade aimed at increasing the chassis stiffness of TA03 cars. Constructed from tough graphite, this plate helps the chassis resist deflection so handling stays more consistent during spirited driving.

What the Graphite Plate Improves

Specifically matched to the TA03 series, the carbon plate reduces unwanted flex and supports better suspension response. The graphite material provides a durable, low-weight reinforcement that suits both onroad practice and club race days.

Fitting and Setup Advice

Swap the stock plate for the carbon version using the original mounting points. Tighten screws evenly and recheck after a few laps to ensure the best performance. Riders will notice tighter steering and improved predictability once the plate is bedded in.
