Race-focused graphite upper bumper for TT-01

This graphite upper bumper plate is a direct replacement for the TAMIYA TT-01 upper bumper, specified as TT01-M18U. The graphite construction increases stiffness at the front mounting area while minimising added mass, improving the fidelity of steering inputs for competitive on-road tuning.

Mounting aligns with the original TT-01 upper bumper points so standard fasteners are usually retained. No extra drilling is required on standard TT-01 configurations; verify bumper to steering clearances during assembly to avoid interference at full lock.

From a setup perspective the graphite plate provides a predictable change to nose rigidity. Use it in conjunction with spring rate, damper and toe adjustments to fine tune turn-in characteristics and mid-corner balance for track-focused performance.

It uses the OEM TT-01 upper bumper mounting pattern and is intended for the TT-01 chassis family without requiring modification to the mounting holes.
Yes, adding graphite stiffness alters impact energy transfer at the nose; monitor mounts and hardware after impacts and adjust crash protection or bumper geometry if needed.
Treat it as a tuning variable: test small changes to front springs, damper compression and toe to find the best combination for sharper turn-in and stable mid-corner attitude.
