These uprights are a sensible upgrade for M05Ra builders looking to refine handling and upgrade the look of their model without overcomplicating the setup.

Do I need special hubs to use these on an M05?

Yes, fitting to a standard M05 requires the M05Ra hub carrier assembly listed as Item 51425 M-05Ra F Parts so the uprights sit correctly.

What bearings complement these uprights?

The recommended option is the 1050 Ball Bearing Set, Item 51239, which reduces friction at the wheel hubs.

Is the anodized finish prone to chipping?

The blue anodized layer is durable for hobby use, but heavy impacts can mark the surface like any metal part; normal driving and maintenance keep it looking good.
