Improve M-05 handling with the Tamiya 54194 Ball Differential

The Tamiya 54194 M-05 Ball Differential Set is a practical upgrade for owners wanting better grip and more predictable handling from their M-05 chassis. It helps maintain traction and balance when a wheel lifts or loses contact, giving smoother power transfer through corners. Note that this part is not supplied with the M-05 PRO kit but fits the platform and brings measurable handling benefits.

Included parts and advantages

This kit contains precision components aimed at reliable differential action:

  • Aluminum Differential Joints: Hard anodized for long life and accurate fit.
  • Cap Screw & Spacer: Keeps the assembly tight and aligned.
  • Nylon Nut & Steel Balls: Deliver consistent rolling action and dependable operation.
  • Reinforced Bearings: A 620 thrust bearing plus 850 and 1510 bearings provide extra support.
  • Ball Diff Grease: Supplied to tune smoothness and response.

Fitment and tips

The 54194 set is compatible with both M-05 and M-05PRO kits. For best results fit it alongside the M03 Assembly Universal Shaft (Item 53597) where applicable, and check gear mesh and bearing preload during installation.

How does the ball differential change traction on the M-05?

The ball differential lets the driven wheels rotate at different speeds while keeping torque transfer, which improves traction when one wheel lifts or slips and smooths corner exits.

Is installation difficult for a home mechanic?

Basic workshop skills are sufficient. You will need standard RC hand tools and patience to set bearing preload and diff grease level for the desired slip.

Will this work with my existing drivetrain parts?

It is designed for the M-05 family. Check compatibility with your universal shaft and drives so splines and lengths match, particularly if you run mixed aftermarket parts.

How should I maintain the ball differential?

Periodically inspect balls and bearings for wear, top up or replace the supplied grease as needed, and clean contaminants from the housing after running on dusty or wet surfaces.
