2.5g plated dish mass damper for Tamiya Mini 4WD applications

This M4WD-37/RE dish weight from 3Racing is a compact, red-plated 2.5g mass damper intended for Mini 4WD cars. The low-profile disc is intended to sit under standard damper mounts and provide ballast without interfering with body contours.

The component is finished with a plated or coated surface to improve wear resistance and maintain a consistent look across units. Its slim dimensions make it a practical choice where thicker weights would foul shells or mounting plates.

Note that this is an aftermarket replacement, not an official Tamiya spare. Check alignment, screw lengths and clearance on MA, MS, AR, FM-A, VS and Super-II chassis before permanent installation.

  • Compact replacement for tight-fitting damper brackets
  • Red plated finish for aesthetic matching
  • Single unit sale; verify compatibility with your mounting hardware

How do I confirm this will fit my chassis?

Measure the available depth under the damper plate and compare with the disc profile. If there is minimal clearance, trial-fit before final fastening to ensure no contact with the shell.

Is the metal composition specified?

The supplier lists a plated or coated metal finish but does not publish the exact alloy. Expect a basic hobby-grade metal suitable for small ballast parts.

Will this change lap times on a race track?

A single 2.5g disc produces minor changes; it can help trim handling in specific mounting locations but is not a major performance modifier on its own.

Should I use threadlocker when fitting?

For a secure fit on racing rigs, light threadlocker can prevent loosening. For collector or display models, ensure screws are snug but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.

Can this be painted to match a shell?

Painting is possible if you scuff and prime the plated surface first. Use light coatings to avoid adding significant thickness that would affect clearance.
