Upgrade the Front End for Stronger Climb Performance

The Kyosho MXW005 brass front hub is produced for the Mini-Z 4x4 Crawler series and is a practical way to add front-end ballast. This extra weight helps the model hold a chosen line and reduces the risk of tipping when ascending steep sections.

Material Benefits for Scale Crawling

Brass offers both resilience and purposeful mass in a small package. On a Mini-Z 4x4 the front-mounted brass hub reduces the centre of gravity at the nose, improving tyre bite and overall composure on inclines.

Practical Fitting Advice

  • Confirm the hub is fully seated and that there is no lateral movement once fitted.
  • Consider slight setup changes to springs or tyre choice to keep front and rear balance even.
  • Inspect wheel studs and hub threads regularly after rough sessions to ensure reliability.
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 Kyosho MXW005 a direct replacement for stock hubs?

Yes, it is designed as a direct-fit front hub for the Mini-Z 4x4 series, intended to replace the stock part without major modification.

Will the added weight require motor changes?

Typically no; the modest increase in weight is addressed by traction gains. Only in extreme tuning scenarios would you need to alter gearing or motor selection.

Can I use this hub with foam inserts or heavier tyres?

Yes, pairing the brass hub with different tyre setups is common to tune grip and handling; test combinations to find the best balance for your track.

Does the hub need periodic lubrication?

Keep bearings and mating surfaces clean; a light application of appropriate grease on bearings is enough, but avoid getting lubricant on tyre tread.

What signs indicate the hub should be replaced?

Replace the hub if you notice significant play, visible thread damage, or deformation after impacts, as these affect alignment and safety.
