Ruggedise Your TGM-02 with the Tamiya 53544 Chassis Plate

The Tamiya 53544 Gun Metal Chassis Plate is built to strengthen the TGM-02 chassis for more demanding use. It adds resistance to flex and impact, making the car feel more planted when tackling rough sections.

Benefits for Bashing and Rough Surfaces

By increasing overall torsional stiffness, the plate improves predictability when the surface gets loose or uneven. The gun metal finish delivers a hard outer layer that tolerates knocks and abrasion from stones or debris.

Simple Swap-In Fitment

Made to the original TGM-02 mounting pattern, installation is a direct swap in most cases. Keep fasteners snug and check clearances around drivetrain components when refitting to avoid binding.

Will the chassis plate survive hard landings?

The plate boosts strength but it is not indestructible. It helps spread impact loads better than thin stock plates, but heavy impacts can still cause damage elsewhere in the chassis.

Can I paint or anodise the plate?

Surface treatments are possible but may alter fit if they add thickness. If refinishing, test fit before final installation and preserve mounting hole tolerances.

Does this plate require special maintenance?

Routine checks for loose fasteners and cleaning off mud or grit are usually enough. A light oil on metal fasteners will help prevent seizing in dusty or humid conditions.
