Stiffen Your DB-02 Front End with Carbon

The Tamiya 54474 RC DB02 Carbon Damper Stay Front replaces the original fiberglass reinforced plastic damper stay found on DB-02 chassis. Built from a 3.5mm carbon fibre plate, it delivers added stiffness so that suspension adjustments work more directly on handling.

Performance Advantages of Carbon Fibre

Thanks to its high strength-to-weight ratio, carbon fibre reduces unwanted flex at critical mounting points. Fitting this carbon damper stay helps maintain consistent geometry under load, which improves stability when accelerating and cornering.

Fitment Advice and Care

Switching out the M1 resin parts for this carbon stay is a simple upgrade using common RC tools. Make sure screws are tightened evenly to avoid uneven stress, and inspect the stay after heavy use to catch any stress marks early.

It is optimised for the DB-02 stock layout. If your car has significant aftermarket changes check alignment and mounting points before fitting; minor mods may be needed for some conversions.
The plate is light but stiffer than the original material, which can shift feel toward a crisper front end. You may want to revisit spring and damper settings after installation.
Perform routine checks for loose hardware and inspect screw holes for wear. If you spot any delamination or cracks replace the part to avoid sudden failure.
