Race-Oriented Chassis Reinforcement

For serious setup work on Kyosho Mini-Z MR-02 (MM) and MR-015 platforms, the 3Racing SSG Graphite Upper Plate provides a predictable increase in torsional rigidity. Its profile is suitable for drivers refining corner entry and mid-corner balance during competitive sessions.

Precision Fit and Function

The 3Racing KZ-01B/SG plate is CNC-style cut to mate with the Kyosho Mini-Z MR-02 (MM) and MR-015 mounting layout, delivering repeatable placement and alignment. This consistency aids setup comparisons when swapping chassis components.

Material Advantages for Tuning

Graphite offers a high stiffness-to-mass ratio which helps lower the effective mass above the chassis plane and improves transient response. Using this plate allows tuners to isolate suspension changes without introducing unwanted flex variables.

How does the graphite plate affect chassis flex tuning?

The graphite upper plate reduces upper chassis flex, making suspension adjustments more direct in effect; this helps with consistent handling feedback during setup iterations.

Should I change shock or spring rates after fitting the plate?

Many racers test small spring or damper changes to complement the increased chassis stiffness, particularly to balance front and rear grip characteristics on different track surfaces.

Is the 3Racing KZ-01B/SG plate recommended for time attack or short circuit formats?

Yes, its stiffening effect is beneficial in formats that reward consistent steering precision and repeatable lap times, making it a common upgrade for competitive Mini-Z classes.
