Mini 4WD dish weight M4WD-37/GO for subtle handling tweaks

This dish weight is a compact, single-piece metal mass intended for Mini 4WD cars that accept dish-style ballast. The plated 2.5g gold part locates in common damper housings or on small custom mounts where hobbyists need consistent, low-profile ballast. Its design keeps surface contact limited while delivering localised mass for balance corrections.

The plated metal finish matches typical low-profile aftermarket weights and offers contrast against ABS components while resisting everyday handling. Installation advice: confirm roller and body clearance, pick a retention method such as a micro screw or adhesive pad, and ensure the extra weight complies with your class rules.

Fitment is aimed at Tamiya 1/32 Mini 4WD models that can accept dish weights. Treat it as a tuning component rather than a structural piece and consider its location relative to the vehicle centre of mass for performance chassis adjustments.

What fixing methods do racers prefer?

Racers often use small screws into damper cups for reliability, while foam tape suits quick changes. Whatever method you use, ensure it does not interfere with rollers or bodywork.

Is the 2.5g mass consistent from part to part?

The marked mass is nominal for selection. For consistent results in competitive tuning, sort and weigh parts so you can match masses across multiple cars.

How resilient is the gold plating under clamps or repeated removal?

The plating tolerates normal handling but will show wear with repeated abrasive contact. Use gentle handling and avoid metal-to-metal rubbing where possible.

Can this part act as a drop-in replacement?

It can substitute for factory damper weights if the shape and mass match. Trial fit to ensure secure retention and correct clearance before competitive use.

Any special advice for trial fitting on tuned cars?

Try incremental placement changes and log handling differences. Small positional tweaks often produce more predictable results than swapping to larger masses.
