Precision Graphite Upgrade for the XV-01 Front

The Tamiya 54452 RC XV-01 Carbon Damper Stay Front is engineered to replace the factory plastic stay on XV-01 chassis. Constructed from quality graphite at a 3.5mm thickness, it increases front stiffness while reducing weight by 2.1 grams, improving the model's responsiveness.

Compatibility Across XV-01 Variants

This carbon stay is compatible with several XV-01 variants, such as the XV-01 PRO, XV-01 TC and XV-01 T. The black graphite finish not only reinforces damper mounting but also gives the car a refined, race-ready look.

Quick Fit and Best Practices

Swapping the carbon stay in is a simple upgrade: remove the original plastic part and install the carbon piece using the original screws. Check bolt tightness and inspect the mount points during routine servicing to keep the benefit intact.

It fits the range of XV-01 chassis variants referenced by Tamiya, including PRO, TC and T types. Verify your chassis uses the same damper mounting pattern before fitting.
Compared with the stock plastic stay, the 3.5mm graphite version reduces mass by about 2.1 grams, which can help with quicker turn-in and more nimble handling.
Avoid overtightening screws that could stress the graphite edges. Inspect for cracks after hard impacts and ensure mounting holes remain clean to prevent uneven loading.
The black graphite surface blends well with factory black parts and adds a subtle, professional look without altering bodywork appearance.
