Stiffen the XV-01 Rear with a Carbon Damper Stay

The Tamiya 54453 Carbon Damper Stay is an effective upgrade for anyone running an XV-01 or XV-01 PRO chassis. Constructed from 3.5mm carbon fiber, it replaces the stock plastic stay to add durability and reduce flex under load.

Performance Effects of Carbon

Swapping to this carbon stay trims roughly 4.8 grams from the rear assembly. That small weight reduction helps suspension reactions feel quicker and improves rear grip consistency across varied track surfaces.

Compatibility Notes and Fit

This part is engineered specifically for the XV-01 series and installs using the original mounting points. Installation is quick and does not demand additional modifications, making it ideal for builders looking to refine handling.

Can I run this on a converted XV-01 with aftermarket uprights?

Generally yes, as long as the rear mounting points remain standard. If you have moved mount holes or altered the chassis significantly, verify clearance before fitting.

Is the thickness the same as other carbon parts?

This damper stay uses 3.5mm carbon fiber, matching the robust profile used on many Tamiya reinforcement parts for a balance of stiffness and light weight.

Will this part affect handling on street versus dirt?

You should notice a firmer rear end and more consistent handling on both sealed and loose surfaces. The change is subtle and focused on responsiveness rather than dramatic behaviour shifts.
