The TA05-09/SG is a CNC-quality SSG graphite top plate intended to replace the standard TA05 main chassis plate for refined stiffness control in 1/10 touring applications. It modifies torsional and local flex to provide more consistent feedback for setup tuning.
Fit and function: engineered for accurate alignment with TA05-series bulkheads and suspension towers, the plate maintains factory gearbox and motor mount positions so drivetrain geometry is unchanged. Expect measurable changes to roll couple and transient response when altering top plate stiffness.
Installation notes: partial chassis disassembly is required; use precision hex drivers and verify stand-off heights and screw engagement during assembly. Preserve original hardware where the kit does not specify replacements to ensure correct clamping loads.
For competitive tuners, the TA05-09/SG delivers a predictable increase in chassis stiffness that aids in fine tuning roll stiffness and transient behaviour; integrate setup changes progressively and log each adjustment for repeatable results.
