What the Tamiya 95178 Jr HG Carbon Reinforcing Plate offers

The Tamiya 95178 Jr HG Carbon Reinforcing Plate strengthens the front bumper area of Mini 4WD machines. Released for the Japan Cup 2025, it combines a commemorative design with a functional upgrade aimed at improving durability on the track.

Finish and styling details

Crafted from black carbon fibre, the plate carries mint green Japan Cup and Tamiya emblems. The look is understated but race-focused, ideal for tidy builds that still want a bit of flair.

Which chassis it suits

This carbon plate is made to suit MS, VS, Super-II, Super X, Super XX, and Super TZ-X chassis, providing flexible fitment for a variety of Mini 4WD platforms without wholesale changes to the setup.

Performance impact and setup advice

Fitting the plate reduces flex in the bumper area, improving resilience against knocks and maintaining better roller alignment through corners. That helps preserve speed and line on technical sections.

Mounting and adjustment pointers

The plate comes with screws and matches common hole patterns similar to the FRP Front Plate for Super X. Some chassis and body combos may require minor trimming or hole tweaks for perfect placement.
