Kyosho Mini Inferno front damper plate by GPM GMIF028  [GMIF028]

Front graphite damper plate

This RC-scale front damper plate is produced for Kyosho Mini Inferno platforms and sold by GPM as GMIF028. It is a graphite replacement part intended for the front damper mounting area, and the original listing specifies it is supplied with mounting screws. The component is designed to interface with the stock front suspension tower and standard shock mounting hardware used on Mini Inferno and Mini Inferno 09 chassis.

In practice the plate serves two roles: as a direct replacement for worn or damaged damper mounts, and as an option in basic tuning setups where stiffer or lighter mounting surfaces are desired. Graphite provides a balance of rigidity and reduced weight compared with many plastics, so expect subtle changes in front-end response when swapped, without altering core suspension geometry.

Installation is straightforward for hobbyists familiar with 1/10-scale Mini Inferno maintenance: remove the existing front damper plate, transfer or fit the supplied screws, and align the plate to the shock tower and shock eyelets before tightening. Use the correct hex driver to avoid stripping heads and inspect thread engagement during reassembly. No special tools beyond common RC hand tools are required.
