Graphite Upper Bumper Plate for Competitive TT01 Setup

The 3Racing TT01 Graphite Upper Bumper Plate is engineered as a stiffer alternative to the stock plastic plate on the Tamiya TT01 chassis, producing a more consistent front-end platform. This component targets reduced compliance in the front assembly to aid precise steering inputs.

Performance Rationale

Graphite provides improved rigidity with negligible added mass, making it suitable for setup-driven tuning. By reducing chassis flex at the front, the plate enhances repeatability of turn-in and mid-corner balance, which is valuable when dialling in suspension and roll characteristics.

Compatibility and Fitting Notes

Manufactured to match the Tamiya TT01 mounting layout, the plate fits as a direct swap for the standard upper bumper plate. Installation uses original screw points and common tool sizes, enabling quick trackside changes during setup sessions.

How does this plate affect chassis tuning options?

Adding this graphite plate reduces front-end compliance, which can make progressive spring or anti-roll bar changes more effective by isolating suspension geometry from chassis flex.

Are there recommended torque values for mounting screws?

Use the same torque you apply to existing plastic mounts; tighten evenly to avoid distorting the plate. Inspect screw tightness after initial runs and retorque as needed.

Is this suitable for practice and race days?

Yes. Its low mass and increased stiffness make it a practical upgrade for both practice sessions and race events where consistent handling is a priority.
