Race-Oriented Carbon Lower Deck for TA04

The Tamiya 53494 Lightweight Carbon Lower Deck replaces the stock TA04 chassis plate with a precision graphite component. It reduces overall vehicle mass while increasing chassis stiffness to help achieve more predictable handling on the track.

High-Grade Graphite Fabrication

Constructed from quality graphite, the Tamiya 53494 lower deck offers a good balance between low weight and durability. The stiffer platform helps stabilise the car during cornering and improves consistency between runs.

Supplied Mounting Components

The product includes a full selection of screws and the aluminium post so you can complete the swap without sourcing extra parts:

  • One graphite chassis
  • One aluminum post (33.3mm)
  • Six 3x15mm self-tapping flat head screws
  • Five 3x8mm flat head machine screws
  • Four 3x8mm self-tapping flat head screws
  • One 3x8mm round head machine screw
  • Four 3x15mm self-tapping round head screws
  • Two 3x18mm self-tapping round head screws

Designed for TA04 and TA04 Pro Platforms

This lower deck fits both standard and Pro versions of the TA04, matching the original mounting pattern and chassis footprint. The specified 319mm length and 140mm width make it a direct-fit replacement.

Specifications

  • Total Length: 319mm (12.6")
  • Widest Width: 140mm (5.51")
  • Tub Height: 12mm (0.47")
  • Chassis Thickness: 2.1mm (0.08")
  • Number of Cells: 6
Switching to the lighter 53494 graphite lower deck typically lowers rotating mass and can slightly alter centre of gravity. You may need to adjust battery placement to maintain balance.
The kit includes a full complement of screws for the initial install. For lost fasteners, source matching 3mm screws from hobby suppliers to replace them.
Graphite is strong but can fracture under severe impacts. For heavy bashing, consider protective skid plates or avoid repeated hard landings to extend service life.
