This graphite-reinforced plate is a purpose-built replacement for Kyosho Mini-Z MR-015 Ferrari 575 GTC shells and MR-015 compatible bodyshells. It delivers a stiffer mounting platform to reduce deformation at the body-to-chassis interface and to maintain consistent panel positioning under dynamic loads.
Engineering notes: the graphite layer is selected to minimise local flex without adding unnecessary mass. Reduced flex at the mounting points preserves aerodynamic and clearance settings during competitive runs and when changing setup parameters. This component is intended solely for body mounting and tuning applications, not for mechanical drivetrain or steering modifications.
Installation guidance: verify the MR-015 Ferrari 575 GTC mounting pattern on your shell prior to fitting. Reuse OEM body fasteners where applicable and inspect for interference with interior mouldings or lighting fixtures. Minor trimming or alternate fastener placement may be required with some aftermarket shells to achieve ideal clearance.
Setup impact: the plate is used to standardise body alignment for repeatable test runs and consistent aero behaviour. Expect measurable improvements in body stiffness and mount repeatability, while electronics and motor characteristics remain unaffected.
