Fine-Tune Your TRF417 Chassis Geometry

The Tamiya 42233 TRF417X Upper Deck is a 2.25mm replacement plate that boosts rigidity to refine on-track behaviour. It is intended for RC drivers who want a more locked-in feel through corners.

Better Handling Under Load

Replacing the stock upper deck with this thicker plate increases torsional stiffness, helping the car maintain a more consistent attitude when cornering and under acceleration. This leads to improved steering feedback and better lap consistency.

Install and Model Compatibility

Manufactured for the TRF417 range, the plate fits standard mount points for quick installation. No major chassis changes are needed, making it simple to test during practice sessions.

Yes, increasing deck stiffness with the Tamiya 42233 can make the chassis feel firmer on uneven surfaces, so you may want to soften dampers or adjust anti-roll bars to compensate.
This is a spare part only; use your existing upper-deck screws and mounting hardware when fitting. Check that screws are in good condition before reassembly.
The weight change is minimal but the increased stiffness affects dynamic balance. Small suspension tweaks usually restore the handling equilibrium after fitting.
