Technical note for M4WD-08_SG carbon side damper plate

The M4WD-08_SG is a carbon plate produced for use as a structural spare on Mini 4WD competition chassis such as Super-II, MS and MA. It features a low-profile geometry and a focus on material stiffness to preserve mounting geometry under lateral loads.

Installation requires the correct fasteners and compatible chassis mounting points; the plate is supplied without rollers, dampers, springs or fixings. During assembly, verify hole centre spacing against your chassis and use appropriate shims or spacers to maintain correct clearances.

Carbon lamination gives a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio versus standard glass-fibre plates and reduces dimensional shift under repeated loading. For precise fitment, check hole tolerances and deburr as needed before final torqueing.

Measure lateral and longitudinal hole centres used by your Super-II, MS or MA chassis to confirm the M4WD-08_SG plate aligns without interference.
Use corrosion-resistant screws and matched spacers to maintain clamp load without deforming the plate. Keep hole clearance minimal to avoid slop while preventing binding.
Light deburring of holes and chamfering edges can improve clearance. Avoid aggressive material removal which can change stiffness characteristics.
Inspect the plate and mounting holes for elongation or resin fatigue after regular rebuilds. Store flat and keep away from solvent exposure to protect the laminate.
