Rear Brace Upgrade for Better XV-01 Control

The Tamiya 54453 Carbon Damper Stay is a practical upgrade for XV-01 and XV-01 PRO owners seeking a tougher rear mount. Fabricated from 3.5mm carbon fiber, it replaces the original plastic stay to add stiffness while keeping weight low.

What the Carbon Stay Delivers

Replacing the stock part reduces mass by about 4.8 grams, helping the suspension respond more quickly. The added rigidity stabilises the rear under cornering and provides a more consistent feel across rough patches.

Straightforward Fitment

Made specifically for the XV-01 family, this damper stay bolts into the standard locations for an easy swap. No major setup changes are required, so you can install it and get back out on the track.

Do I need different screws to fit this carbon stay?

No special fasteners are normally required. The component is designed to use the stock mounting hardware, but check that bolts are snug and do not overtighten to avoid crushing the carbon.

Will the stay affect tuning for understeer or oversteer?

The stay increases rear stiffness, which can reduce unwanted rear deflection. Expect a subtle change in balance; tuning springs and damping can fine tune handling to your preference.

Is this suitable for competitive use?

Yes. It is a common lightweight reinforcement used by hobbyists and racers alike to make the rear end more predictable, while keeping serviceability simple.
