FAQ

Reduce Rotating Mass on Your M-Chassis

This one-piece aluminium axle and hub merges axle and hub into a single unit to cut weight and increase toughness. The Tamiya 54996 unit is a practical upgrade for those tuning balance and responsiveness on M-Chassis cars.

Why Choose the Tamiya 54996 Set

Material: Machined aluminium with a hard anodised surface for improved surface resistance.
Weight Reduction: Roughly half the mass compared with older metal axle plus plastic hub combinations, aiding quicker chassis reactions.
Adjustable Tread: Supplied spacers let you recreate 4mm, 5mm and 6mm hub offsets for chassis setup work.
Compatibility: Suits M-05, M-06, M-07 and M-08 Concept M-Chassis types.

Can I use these hubs with different wheel types?

The hub profile matches standard M-Chassis wheels. Wider or non-standard wheels may need careful checking for clearance and track width adjustments.

Are there setup tips for tighter cornering?

Use the included spacers to narrow or widen tread, and combine with tyre choice and ride height adjustments to refine turn-in and mid-corner balance.

Do I need to replace wheel bearings when fitting this set?

If bearings show play or roughness, replace them during the install. Good bearings help preserve the anodised surfaces and deliver consistent performance.
