Product summary and purpose

This rear underguard is an RC-scale aluminum plate made for the TAMIYA Hornet EVO 58742 chassis and supplied under model JR-THNE03-LB by Jazrider. Finished in anodized blue, the plate mounts to the rear lower area to protect the chassis underside and to alter the lower rear rigidity.

The underguard resists abrasion from contact and impacts while producing a measurable change in lower rear stiffness useful for setup work. The item is listed specifically for Hornet EVO 58742, and fitment with other platforms should be confirmed by checking mounting points.

Installation overview: the component is intended to match the Hornet EVO 58742 rear mounting holes and maintain original fastener locations and clearances. Installation commonly replaces the stock plastic plate and requires verifying full suspension travel to ensure no interference.

Setup advice: replacing plastic with aluminum changes rear stiffness and contact feedback, often improving high-speed stability but increasing bump sensitivity. Combine this upgrade with shock and anti-roll adjustments to maintain balanced handling.

Does this require altering the stock mounting hardware?

In most cases the plate uses the existing Hornet EVO 58742 screw pattern. Keep the factory hardware where possible and add thin washers only if needed to maintain clearance.

How should I check for suspension interference after fitting?

After fitting, cycle suspension through full droop and compression and inspect for contact points between the plate and arms or bumper. Modify spacer or fastener placement if any rubbing appears.

Is this part suitable for competitive tuning?

Yes. The consistent stiffness and robust protection make it a practical tuning tool for drivers seeking predictable rear behaviour; integrate it with incremental shock and anti-roll adjustments when testing setup changes.
