Competition Grade Graphite Reinforcement

The 3Racing KZ-14/5/SG graphite reinforced plate is produced to suit Kyosho Mini-Z MR-015 chassis layouts and to stiffen the Mercedes-Benz CLK-DTM 2002 shell for race environments. It focuses on reducing chassis flex to improve steering predictability and lap consistency.

Technical Benefits for Tuned Setups

Graphite gives a high stiffness-to-weight outcome that aids tuned suspensions and precise wheel control. When paired with racing tyres and tuned shocks, the plate helps maintain alignment under lateral loads and improves feedback for setup adjustments.

Installation and Setup Notes

Engineered to align with MR-015 mounting points, install the plate using standard Mini-Z hardware and verify mounting torque to avoid chassis twist. For competition use, pair with minor shock and toe adjustments to capitalise on the reduced flex.

What setup changes work best with this plate?

Drivers often reduce front anti-roll or soften front springs slightly to rebalance the car after increasing chassis stiffness. Small incremental changes are recommended.

Is additional reinforcement advised for endurance events?

The graphite plate improves stiffness but consider adding targeted impact protection around high stress points for long endurance running to limit damage from repeated contacts.

How does this plate affect tuning sensitivity?

With reduced chassis flex, steering and suspension adjustments become more predictable, so tuning changes have clearer effects. Log setup changes when testing to find optimal settings.
