Heavy Duty Front Mount for the Nitrage 5.2 Chassis

The Tamiya 53998 Nitrage 5.2 Precision Aluminum Front Suspension Mount Plate gives your chassis a tougher mounting point that helps reduce flex during aggressive driving. Constructed from solid aluminum at 4mm, it provides an additional millimeter thickness over typical stock plates for a firmer hold where shock towers and arms meet the chassis.

Why Use an Aluminum Mount Plate?

Aluminum offers a good balance of light weight and rigidity, improving the stability of the front suspension. Racers and bashers will notice crisper handling and less slop in the steering components when the mount remains firmly in place.

Compatibility and Swap-In Installation

Designed to match the Tamiya Nitrage 5.2 chassis mounting points, installation is straightforward and does not require chopping or re-drilling. The thicker plate reduces movement and helps maintain consistent suspension geometry during rough runs.

Yes, as long as the aftermarket arms use the same mounting holes and geometry as the Nitrage 5.2, the plate will accept them without extra work.
The plate has a raw metal finish that can be masked and painted with suitable metal primers and paints if a custom look is desired.
Use moderate, even torque typical for RC hardware; tighten screws snugly but avoid over-torquing to prevent stripping plastic threads in the chassis.
