Reduce Mass and Improve Stiffness on Your TA04

The Tamiya 53494 Lightweight Carbon Lower Deck is built as a direct replacement for the TA04 central chassis. Using precision-cut graphite, this lower deck helps lower unsprung mass and improves chassis response for track sessions and club racing.

Durable Graphite Construction

Made from a resilient graphite composite, the Tamiya 53494 lower deck balances low weight with good impact resistance. The material choice supports longevity while giving the chassis a more rigid backbone for consistent handling.

Everything You Need to Fit It

The package contains the mounting hardware needed to complete the upgrade so you can spend less time sourcing parts and more time setting up your car:

  • One graphite chassis
  • One aluminum post (33.3mm)
  • Six 3x15mm self-tapping flat head screws
  • Five 3x8mm flat head machine screws
  • Four 3x8mm self-tapping flat head screws
  • One 3x8mm round head machine screw
  • Four 3x15mm self-tapping round head screws
  • Two 3x18mm self-tapping round head screws

Compatible with Standard and Pro TA04 Builds

Compatible with both the standard TA04 and TA04 Pro variants, this lower deck mounts cleanly into existing setups. The 319mm by 140mm footprint matches the original chassis dimensions for a snug fit.

Specifications

  • Total Length: 319mm (12.6")
  • Widest Width: 140mm (5.51")
  • Tub Height: 12mm (0.47")
  • Chassis Thickness: 2.1mm (0.08")
  • Number of Cells: 6
Yes, the 53494 is designed to align with the standard TA04 and TA04 Pro mounting points so body mount positions should remain compatible.
You can run it on both surfaces, but you may need to tweak droop, shock tune and sway to suit the surface for best traction and turn-in.
Yes, the kit ships with the aluminium post and the full set of self-tapping and machine screws required for installation.
Inspect mounting holes and screw torque regularly and avoid over-tightening to prevent stress around fastener points. Clean debris from surfaces after sessions.
