Sharpen Steering Response with the Tamiya 40548 Front Plate

The Tamiya 40548 TamTech-Gear Aluminum Front Upper Plate is a practical performance upgrade for racers and club drivers. Compatible with GB-01, GB-01T, GB-02 and GT-01 chassis, the blue alloy plate increases front stiffness while keeping stock fitment.

Why the aluminum top plate helps

Aluminum construction reduces chassis flex at the front, yielding more predictable steering and better corner entry. The robust plate stands up to regular running and helps maintain setup consistency lap after lap.

Is the Tamiya 40548 a direct bolt on?

Yes, it mounts to the existing points on GB-01, GB-01T, GB-02 and GT-01 chassis and uses the factory screw locations.

Will this affect ride height or handling balance?

The plate keeps the same geometry so ride height stays unchanged, though the stiffer front may call for slight suspension tuning to rebalance handling.

Can I run this on both road and loose surfaces?

Yes. The extra stiffness helps precision on sealed surfaces and can also stabilise the front on loose tracks, but you may need different suspension settings per surface.
