Rear protection plate for TAMIYA buggies

The JR-TFD12-BK aluminum rear guard is an aftermarket panel made for select TAMIYA buggies. With a black finish, it serves as a replacement rear guard intended to protect the chassis and to act as a small tuning element for rear-end rigidity.

Key points for hobbyists:

Compatibility: Specifically intended for TAMIYA Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon, and Terra Scorcher models.
Material: Durable aluminum with a black surface treatment for a clean aftermarket look.
Function: Defends the rear area from impacts and may slightly increase rear stiffness, affecting handling and setup choices.

Installation notes: inspect fit before final tightening, align with the chassis rear mount points, and use appropriate fasteners. After installation, check suspension travel and drivetrain clearance to ensure no interference.

How robust is the aluminum compared with stock plastic?

Aluminum offers improved impact resistance and wear longevity compared with typical stock plastics, though it can transmit more shock into the chassis.

Will the finish resist scratches and corrosion?

The black surface treatment helps resist corrosion and light scuffs, but heavy impacts may mark the finish; regular inspection is advised.

Is the part suitable for off-road bashing?

Yes, the aluminum guard is robust enough for recreational bashing, though extreme impacts could still deform or transfer force to other chassis components.
