Technical Upgrade for Competitive Mini-Z Setups

The 3RACING KZ-06B/WO upper graphite plate replaces the standard top plate on the Kyosho Mini-Z MR-015 when used with the MR-02 RM motor mount. It is intended to improve torsional stiffness and reduce unwanted chassis flex for a more consistent handling baseline during racing.

Material and Performance Considerations

Graphite delivers a high stiffness to mass ratio, allowing targeted rigidity gains without significant weight penalty. This plate is suited for racers seeking predictable steering and improved mid-corner stability under load.

Installation and Setup Advice

Designed as a direct bolt-in replacement, the plate uses the MR-02 RM mounting pattern for straightforward installation. After fitting, minor setup adjustments such as incremental toe or roll centre tweaks are recommended to optimise balance for a given track condition.

Tuning Impact and Durability

Expect reduced chassis deformation during aggressive inputs, which helps tyre contact remain more consistent. While graphite offers excellent stiffness, operators should inspect the part after impacts and avoid overloading the material beyond typical racing use.

The increased top plate stiffness reduces chassis compliance, often requiring small toe and damping adjustments to recover the desired front to rear balance for racing setups.
Compatibility depends on matching the MR-02 RM motor mount bolt pattern. If the aluminium mount shares the same points, the plate will mount correctly, but check tolerances and clearances before track use.
Inspect mounting holes and plate surfaces after impacts, torque fasteners to spec, and replace the plate if any cracking or delamination is visible to preserve consistent handling.
