Technical Summary

The graphite rear body post plate is a drop-in replacement for Kyosho FW05 family chassis and carries the designation FW05-028. By increasing local board stiffness around the rear mounting points, the plate yields a firmer platform for body posts while remaining lightweight.

Compatibility is specified for these Kyosho models: FW05-R, FW05RR, V One RRR, V One S, V One SII, V One SIII, V One R, V One RR, V One RRR Evo. Confirm the chassis code before installation to ensure correct fitment.

Installation and tuning notes:

  • Remove the factory rear body post plate and align the replacement to the stock mounting points; the component is intended to reuse existing screws and posts when they are suitable.
  • Fasten with the appropriate hex driver and moderate torque to avoid compressing the graphite; verify that posts are square to the shell to prevent trimming misalignment.
  • As a setup item, increased rear plate stiffness alters body load transfer and can reduce rear clip flex; follow up with small body height and clip adjustments to achieve the desired rear-end response.

What checks should be made before fitting?

Confirm the car's chassis code matches one of the listed variants and inspect the existing posts and screws for wear; replace damaged hardware prior to fitting.

Any torque guidance for fasteners?

Apply moderate torque using the correct hex driver; excessive force can crush graphite layers. Tighten incrementally and check alignment as you go.

How does this plate affect tuning options?

A stiffer rear mounting surface changes how the body transmits forces to the rear suspension, which can be used to tune rear bite and consistency; adjust body mount height and clip placement as part of your setup process.
