GPM Racing 7075 Alloy Upper Deck for Yikong YK7081 TB8 1/8 4WD RC Car (TB8/025)

Replacement upper deck for YK7081 TB8

This upper deck is an RC-scale replacement part machined from 7075 alloy and offered as an aftermarket hop-up for the YIKONG YK7081 TB8 platform. The component serves as a direct replacement for factory part number 80012 and is finished with multi-colour anodizing to provide durable surface protection and visual customization without changing fitment.

Supplied pre-assembled by the vendor, the package contains 1 pcs upper deck. The recommendation is to use thread-lock on metal fasteners during installation to preserve clamping strength and prevent loosening during typical off-road 1/8 4WD use.

The upper deck concentrates on improving chassis rigidity and spreading loads between the suspension towers and the central chassis. Installed as a like-for-like replacement it retains original mounting points and normally does not require modification to adjacent parts, offering a higher-strength alloy option compared with stamped or composite stock decks.

What are the main benefits of this machined deck?

Improved stiffness and a lighter, more durable machined surface compared with many stamped or composite alternatives, which can enhance chassis response.

Any special fitting advice?

Use medium-strength thread-lock on metal-fastened joints, check torque after initial runs, and confirm there is no interference with electronics or suspension travel.
