Add Front Mass to Improve Climbing

The Kyosho MXW005 brass front hub is engineered for the Mini-Z 4x4 Crawler series, giving drivers a compact way to increase front-wheel load. The extra mass helps the model bite into loose surfaces and hold lines on inclines.

Advantages of Brass Components

Brass brings toughness and steady weight distribution to small-scale RC parts. On a Mini-Z 4x4 this material lowers the centre of gravity at the nose, which reduces roll risk and helps the front tyres maintain traction on climbs.

Practical Installation Notes

  • Push the hub onto the axle so it sits flush and does not wobble in the wheel assembly.
  • Consider pairing with firmer springs or heavier tyres if you want a balanced feel front to rear.
  • Periodically inspect the hub for dents or thread wear after off-road use.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Is the MXW005 suitable for all Mini-Z 4x4 wheel setups?

Yes, it is compatible with standard Mini-Z 4x4 wheel hubs, though wheel offset and tyre choice can affect final stance and handling.

Should I change suspension settings after fitting the hub?

Small suspension tweaks can help; firmer front damping or a slight preload can prevent excessive squat and keep weight distribution effective.

What running surfaces benefit most from this hub?

Loose dirt, gravel and steep indoor ramps show the biggest improvement because the added front mass increases tyre bite under load.

How often should I inspect the hub?

Check the hub after every few runs or after heavy impacts; look for looseness, corrosion or thread damage and replace if needed.
