Refine M-05 Balance and Control

The Tamiya 54538 Aluminum Counterweight is intended to correct the lateral imbalance produced by a side-mounted motor on the M-05 chassis. Fitting this component helps reduce unwanted roll and keeps the car more composed through bends, improving driver confidence when pushing for lap consistency.

Essential Details for the Tamiya 54538 Counterweight

Material: Quality aluminium for a durable, lightweight solution
Compatibility: Specifically matched to the M-05 chassis pattern
Installation: Supplied with two 3x27mm black screws to fasten the weight securely

Will this affect balance across different track layouts?

It improves lateral balance generally, which can help on a wide range of layouts by making the car less prone to sudden shifts in handling between corners.

Does the counterweight require maintenance?

Periodic checks of the screws and cleaning of the mounting area are advisable, especially after contact or dusty runs, to ensure continued secure fitment.

Will fitting this change setup recommendations?

The counterweight shifts balance rather than suspension geometry; you may find small adjustments to toe or camber useful to fully exploit the improved balance.

Is any modification needed to mount on the M-05?

No modifications should be necessary on a standard M-05; use the supplied 3x27mm screws and follow standard fitting practice to avoid thread damage.
