The Tamiya 54276 Aluminium Motor Plate is a practical swap for hobbyists wanting to trim weight on a TRF201. Made from 7075 aluminium, it keeps rigidity while lowering unsprung mass for rough terrain running.
This upgrade reduces weight by about 2.5g compared to the factory plate, with a total mass near 17.3g. The lighter plate allows the chassis to sit lower and improves stability during tight manoeuvres.
At the motor mounting it keeps a 3.2mm thickness to resist impact and bending. A raised lip on the outer surface helps the motor cover seat accurately, offering extra protection against dirt and grit on dusty tracks.
