Balance Upgrade for M-05 Chassis

If your M-05 feels pulled to one side, the Tamiya 54538 Aluminum Counterweight evens out the chassis by opposing the side-mounted motor mass. The result is reduced body lean and steadier line holding when entering and exiting corners, which is useful for accurate lap times on twisty layouts.

Key Benefits of the 54538 Counterweight

Material: Durable aluminum construction for long service life
Compatibility: Designed to match mounting points on M-05 chassis variants
Installation: Comes with two 3x27mm black screws to secure the weight

Will this change handling on slick surfaces?

It tends to stabilise the chassis, which can help maintain traction on lower-grip surfaces by reducing sudden weight shifts during cornering.

Do I need special tools to fit the counterweight?

Basic hand tools like a small hex driver are sufficient. Just take care to align the holes before tightening the supplied screws.

Will adding weight affect acceleration?

The added mass is small and focused on balance rather than outright weight gain, so any change in acceleration is usually negligible compared with the handling benefits.

How often should I check the mount after racing?

Inspect the screws and mounting area after a few outings and after any hard impacts to ensure nothing has loosened or shifted.
