Aftermarket rear guard suitable for TAMIYA chassis

The JR-TFD12-BK aluminum rear guard is produced as an aftermarket replacement for selected TAMIYA buggies. The black finish gives a tidy aftermarket appearance while the plate protects the rear area and can subtly alter rear-end rigidity for setup considerations.

Key points for hobbyists:

  • Compatibility: Intended for TAMIYA Thunder Shot, Thunder Dragon, Fire Dragon, and Terra Scorcher as listed.
  • Material: Aluminum with a black surface treatment for improved durability versus many stock plastics.
  • Function: Adds rear protection and can slightly change handling by increasing rear stiffness, which may require tuning adjustments.

Installation notes: dry-fit to confirm alignment, attach using the chassis rear mounting points and suitable hardware, and check suspension and driveline clearance after installation.

Is this a direct bolt-on for listed TAMIYA models?

It is designed for bolt-on fitment with the listed chassis, but always confirm hole alignment and hardware compatibility on your specific vehicle before final installation.

How does the guard influence chassis behaviour?

Because aluminum is stiffer than many plastics, the guard can increase rear rigidity slightly, which may change corner entry and traction characteristics and prompt small tuning tweaks.

Maintenance tips after fitting

Periodically check fasteners for tightness and inspect the guard and adjacent mounts for signs of impact or deformation to maintain reliable performance.
