Precision front weighting for improved corner control

Model racers seeking more predictable steering can fit the Kyosho IFW437-05 Front Knuckle Setting Weight to their MP9. The twin 5g pieces provide measured front load to help the car rotate cleaner into corners and hold lines better.

How the weights influence handling

Concentrated mass at the knuckles alters the front axle load under steering, which can reduce understeer and enhance tyre contact through the turn. This is a subtle tuning option that complements spring and damper adjustments.

Fitting notes and model match

The weights are designed for straightforward installation on MP9 knuckles and should slot into place without modification. Verify clearance around brake and steering links after fitting to ensure unobstructed movement.
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.

Will adding these change my car's balance front to rear?

Yes, these add a small amount of forward weight which shifts front-to-rear balance slightly. The change is intentional to improve front-end grip rather than to upset overall chassis balance.

Can I tune handling further after fitting these weights?

After fitting, fine-tune toe, camber and shock settings to complement the new front weight. Small iterative changes and test laps will reveal the best combination for your setup.

Are these compatible with aluminium knuckles?

Compatibility depends on knuckle design and mounting holes. Many aftermarket aluminium knuckles still accept the IFW437-05 style weights, but always check fitment before permanent installation.

How should I assess the effect after installation?

Run a few controlled laps on a familiar circuit and note turn-in, mid-corner balance and exit stability. Compare tyre wear and steering feel versus baseline runs to decide if the change suits your driving style.
