Aluminum Front Suspension Plate Built for Tough Use

The Tamiya 53998 Nitrage 5.2 Precision Aluminum Front Suspension Mount Plate is an upgrade aimed at hobbyists wanting a firmer connection between the chassis and suspension components. Machined from aluminum and 4mm thick, it brings an extra millimeter of strength over standard plates to resist bending under heavy loads.

Aluminum Advantages for Front End Strength

Aluminum combines low weight and strong support, helping preserve suspension alignment during bashing and competitive runs. A rigid mount plate reduces unwanted movement at the attachment points for more predictable handling.

Fitment Details and Installation Steps

This plate is made to suit the Tamiya Nitrage 5.2 mounting pattern and can be fitted with common RC tools. The thicker construction helps secure components and reduce play, without the need for complex chassis modifications.

Will changing to this plate alter ride height?

No significant change to ride height is expected; the plate mainly affects stiffness and mounting accuracy rather than suspension travel.

Is any drilling or trimming required?

No. The plate is designed to match the stock mounting holes so it installs without cutting or re-drilling on a standard Nitrage 5.2 chassis.

Can I run this with lightweight electronics?

Yes, the plate works with standard RC electronics; it does not affect electronics fitment and helps keep the mounting points stable regardless of weight class.
