Carbon Front Damper Stay for Sharper Control

The Tamiya 54452 RC XV-01 Carbon Damper Stay Front swaps in for the original plastic part on XV-01 chassis. Made from 3.5mm graphite, this stay raises front rigidity while cutting 2.1 grams of weight, which can result in crisper handling and improved feedback from the shocks.

Who Should Fit This Part

Suitable for hobbyists running XV-01 platforms including XV-01 PRO, XV-01 TC and XV-01 T, the black graphite stay strengthens the front damper mounting and provides a clean, factory-compatible aesthetic.

Installation Notes

Fitting is a direct replacement using the stock screw pattern. Tighten fasteners evenly and check the mount points regularly, especially after wheel-to-wheel use or big impacts, to maintain the performance edge.

No special tools are required beyond the usual hex drivers used for XV-01 maintenance. Use the correct driver to avoid rounding screw heads and secure all fasteners to the recommended tightness.
Graphite is stiffer than plastic and can reduce flex, but it may not bend like plastic under extreme loads. Inspect after impacts and consider spare parts for regular racers.
Routine checks for tightness and hairline damage are enough. Keep mounting surfaces clean and avoid overtightening to preserve the graphite edges.
