Lightweight Front Upright Built for Better Steering

The Tamiya 54177 M-05 Aluminum Front Upright is a practical upgrade for modelers wanting a lighter, tougher front end. Made to fit the M-05, M-03, and M-04 chassis, these uprights help trim rotating mass while giving a clean aluminum finish that suits both racing and display models.

Benefits of Swapping to Aluminum Uprights

Machined from durable aluminum, these uprights improve crash resistance compared to stock plastic parts while keeping weight low. The result is crisper steering feedback and improved handling balance, especially useful when you want consistent lap times on tight circuits.

Specifications

  • Material: Aluminum
  • Compatibility: M-05, M-03, M-04 chassis
  • Function: Reduced weight and improved durability

Will these uprights fit standard M-05 setups?

Yes. The Tamiya 54177 M-05 uprights are engineered for the M-05 and are compatible with M-03 and M-04 variants that share the same front hub geometry.

Do I need new hardware to install them?

In most cases you can reuse the stock screws and pins, though checking fit and using thread lock on metal-to-metal joints is recommended for track use.

How do aluminum uprights affect suspension tuning?

Lowering unsprung weight with aluminum uprights can make the front end more responsive; you may need to adjust camber or spring rates slightly to regain preferred handling balance.
