Customisation for Tracks

With a wide mounting platform, this rear plate lets you test different roller setups quickly. The stiff carbon helps keep the rear end steady, which is useful when you are pushing for consistent sector times.

Which roller combos are worth trying first?

Start with 11mm front and 17mm rear to find a balance between corner grip and straight line stability, then tweak smaller or larger rollers to suit corner radii.

Is the plate suitable for high downforce setups?

The plate itself increases chassis stiffness rather than creating aerodynamic downforce. Combine it with appropriate body and wing choices to manage aero balance.

How should I inspect the plate after a crash?

Look for hairline cracks around mounting holes and surface delamination. Replace the plate if you spot structural damage to avoid failure during a race.

Can I pair this with aluminium parts?

Yes, aluminium uprights or stays can complement the carbon plate to create a stiffer assembly, but watch for galvanic corrosion if mixing metals in exposed environments.
