Ready-To-Use Tamiya 70175 Pla-Plate for RC Mods

The Tamiya 70175 Pla-Plate gives builders a reliable 1.5mm sheet for shaping custom parts and reinforcing areas exposed to off-road stress. Its feel and thickness make it useful for both cosmetic and functional work.

Practical Modding Applications

Use the plate for creating light reinforcement plates, custom fender pieces, or tidy interior supports. The modest thickness keeps added weight down while improving durability.

Finish and Handling Notes

Cut and sand with standard modelling tools for clean edges. The 70175 Pla-Plate sands predictably and accepts primers and paints after surface prep.

Is 1.5mm thick enough for bumper mounts?

For light-duty mounts 1.5mm works when combined with backing plates; for heavy loads consider thicker reinforcements or metal inserts.

How should I sand the edges?

Start with a fine file then finish with 400-600 grit sandpaper for a smooth edge ready for primer or paint.

Can I heat-bend this sheet?

Light heat can help form gentle curves, but heat control is important to avoid warping; practise on a scrap piece first.
