Technical Plate Upgrade for MR-015 Chassis

This 3Racing graphite reinforced plate is engineered to integrate with the Kyosho Mini-Z MR-015 and the Lexus SC430 body. The plate increases torsional rigidity at key mounting points while remaining light enough for standard Mini-Z setups.

Material and Chassis Response

Graphite provides improved stiffness with minimal mass penalty, allowing tuners to alter chassis flex characteristics without affecting basic geometry. This aids in dialing in front to rear balance during setup work.

Mounting and Compatibility Notes

The plate aligns with MR-015 factory mounts and body bosses for direct fitment to the Lexus SC430 shell. Installers should verify fastener torque and inspect mating surfaces to ensure consistent preload and repeatable setup.

Application and Setup Advice

Use this plate when seeking a firmer baseline for suspension tweaks or when running on high grip surfaces that expose chassis flex. Pairing the plate with minor damping or toe adjustments can yield a clearer handling response.

Increasing chassis stiffness changes how suspension inputs translate to handling; expect crisper turn-in and more consistent mid corner behaviour, which helps when fine tuning damping and toe settings.
Fit the plate to factory mount points, tighten hardware to a moderate torque, and recheck after a short test run to confirm no fasteners have settled loose.
Yes, the plate provides a more stable platform for competitors looking to tune chassis flex. It should be used alongside standard setup adjustments rather than as a standalone performance cure.
