Tamiya 15497 HG Carbon Reinforcing Plate - precision roller mounting

The Tamiya 15497 HG Carbon Reinforcing Plate is an effective reinforcement for Mini 4WD racers wanting reliable roller mounting points. Constructed from quality carbon fibre, it resists twisting and helps keep roller geometry consistent lap after lap.

Roller compatibility and markings

Built to support 13mm and 19mm rollers, the plate includes printed diameter markers and the Tamiya logo, streamlining setup checks. The design gives room to tweak roller placement while keeping measurements obvious.

Effect on cornering and speed

By reducing flex where rollers mount, these plates can improve corner stability and conserve momentum through bends. They are compatible with Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO chassis, but large roller choices may need slight body or chassis trimming for clearance.

Quick fitting tips

The kit contains screws and washers to get you started. Before racing, verify clearances with your chosen rollers and adjust body mounting points if necessary to avoid rubbing or interference.

Will the plate change handling dramatically?

Expect more consistent handling rather than a radical change. The plate reduces local flex and helps rollers hold their alignment during high speed sections.

Is special maintenance required for carbon plates?

Not really. Keep the plate clean and occasionally check screws for tightness. Carbon can crack if over-stressed, so inspect after impacts.

Can I run painted bodies with these plates?

Yes. Painted shells are fine, but confirm the paint does not add interference where the plate or rollers contact the body. Trim as needed to maintain clearance.

Are replacement screws easy to source?

Standard Mini 4WD hardware is widely available. Keep a small spares kit with screws and washers for quick track-side repairs.

Will these work with aftermarket rollers?

Yes, most aftermarket rollers that match 13mm or 19mm diameters will fit, but check shaft and spacer dimensions to ensure proper clearance and function.
