Kyosho IFW710 - Carbon Upper Plate (MP11)  [KY-IFW710]

Carbon upper plate for MP11

The Kyosho IFW710 Carbon Upper Plate is a factory spare designed for MP11-series chassis as a carbon top deck option. It serves as the upper structural element that helps control flex and transfer loads across the chassis, offering a firmer mounting surface compared with compliant stock boards.

Material and role: made from carbon fiber, the plate is intended to stiffen the upper section of the chassis and provide a stable reference for suspension and servo geometry during tuning. It is used where drivers want more predictable responses when changing shock settings, anti-roll balance, or roll center adjustments.

Installation tips: the part installs using the MP11’s existing mounting points, so basic RC workshop tools like hex driver sets are sufficient. Remove the stock upper plate, retain original fasteners when possible, align the new plate to factory holes, and tighten screws evenly to avoid induced twist. Check clearance around the servo, ESC, and wiring after installation before first run.

Tuning notes: expect the stiffer top deck to influence chassis balance by reducing mid-corner flex, which can translate to crisper turn-in and a slightly firmer rear-end feel depending on suspension setup. Use the plate as one element in a balanced tuning approach rather than as a single cure for handling issues.

This IFW710 carbon upper plate is a straightforward spares option for MP11 owners seeking a firmer top deck for consistent setup work and incremental handling changes.
