Tamiya 95178 - Jr HG Carbon Reinforcing Plate 1.5mm J-Cup 2025 Retro Mini 4WD Front Plate  [95178]

Quick look at the Tamiya 95178 Jr HG Carbon Reinforcing Plate

The Tamiya 95178 Jr HG Carbon Reinforcing Plate is made to beef up the front end of Mini 4WD cars. Issued as a Japan Cup 2025 item, it gives both a commemorative touch and a practical stiffness upgrade for keen racers.

Visual style and material

Built from black carbon fibre, the plate is finished with mint green Japan Cup and Tamiya logos for a smart race-inspired aesthetic. The subtle contrast makes it easy to spot on the track.

Fitment across chassis types

This plate has been engineered for a wide range of chassis, including MS, VS, Super-II, Super X, Super XX, and Super TZ-X. That means you can fit the same plate across different car platforms with minimal fuss.

On-track effect and customising

Adding the carbon plate stiffens the bumper zone to better absorb impacts and reduce flex, which helps keep stability through fast turns. The plate also supports roller mounts, allowing cleaner cornering lines.

Installation notes

Fitting is simple since screws are supplied. Hole positions are similar to the FRP Front Plate used on Super X chassis, but a few chassis or body combinations may need small trimming or hole tweaks for the best alignment.
