Rear Undertray for Hornet EVO (Technical)

This anodised red aluminium rear undertray is an aftermarket upgrade intended for the Tamiya Hornet EVO (58742). It provides a hardened underside surface to reduce abrasion and impact damage while allowing access to maintenance points and service items.

Functionally, the component adds a controlled amount of rear-sprung mass and increases local stiffness compared with common plastic components. Those changes can affect traction and transient rear behaviour, so consider weight distribution and suspension tuning when integrating the plate into a setup.

Installation follows a straightforward alignment to the Hornet EVO (58742) rear mounting locations, using existing fasteners where they align. Standard RC tools are adequate; verify fastener torque and clearances after initial test runs to ensure consistent performance.

Is precise alignment critical for fitment?

Yes. Align the mounting holes to the Hornet EVO (58742) points to avoid interference with suspension components and to ensure even load distribution across the plate.

What performance trade-offs should I expect?

Expect improved underside protection and slightly increased rear traction from added mass, balanced against potential shifts in handling that may require minor suspension or gearing adjustments.

Recommended maintenance routine?

Check for deformation after heavy impacts, clean embedded grit from the plate, and periodically re-torque mounting fasteners to maintain a secure, predictable fit.
