Product Summary for Tamiya 15499 HG Carbon Wide Rear Plate

The Tamiya 15499 HG Carbon Wide Rear Plate is a 1.5mm carbon fibre part designed to increase chassis stiffness and reduce flex during spirited driving. Marked roller positions and the Tamiya logo help with quick, accurate setup sessions.

Compatibility Details

This rear plate fits many Tamiya Mini 4WD chassis including MA, MS, AR, VS, Super-II, Super XX and Super TZ-X, though some builds may need minor trimming or different spacers. It supports 9, 11, 13, 17 and 19mm roller holes for flexible tuning options.

How It Affects Handling

Installing the HG Carbon Wide Rear Plate improves stability and lowers vibration, which helps maintain speed through corners and over bumps. Correct roller placement combined with this plate can sharpen cornering and consistency on race day.

Do I need to rebalance the car after fitting this plate?

You should check overall balance and adjust weight distribution if necessary. The plate changes stiffness more than mass, but testing on track will reveal any needed tweaks.

Are special fasteners required for carbon parts?

Standard Mini 4WD screws and spacers work fine; just avoid over-tightening to prevent crushing the plate. Use even torque on mounting points for best results.

Will the plate affect top speed?

The plate itself does not directly increase motor output, but better chassis rigidity can reduce energy loss from flex, helping the car maintain speed through corners.
