One-Piece Aluminium Axle and Hub for M-Chassis

This compact, low-mass axle and hub assembly replaces separate components to reduce overall wheel mass while improving robustness. The Tamiya 54996 item is aimed at drivers who tune for consistent lap times and reliable durability.

Core Features of the Tamiya 54996 Kit

Material: CNC-style aluminium with a hard anodised surface for enhanced scratch and wear resistance.
Weight Reduction: Approximately half the weight compared with a separate metal axle and plastic hub setup, helping chassis reaction times.
Adjustable Tread: Provided spacers allow offsets matching 4mm, 5mm and 6mm wheel hubs for precise track width settings.
Compatibility: Suitable for M-05, M-06, M-07 and M-08 Concept M-Chassis models.

Will fitting the Tamiya 54996 require re-setup of suspension?

Minor setup checks are recommended after fitting since reduced mass and any tread change can affect ride height and camber under load.

Can I use this set for both track and practice sessions?

Yes. The durable aluminium and anodised finish make it suitable for frequent running, but inspect regularly for loosening or wear.

Are there recommended lubricants to use during installation?

Use light grease on locknuts and avoid heavy oils on the anodised faces; keep bearings properly lubricated with products suited to your driving conditions.
