Dial In Better Balance for Your M-05

RC drivers aiming for sharper cornering will notice the difference with the Tamiya 54538 Aluminum Counterweight fitted to an M-05 chassis. By cancelling out the left-side motor bias, this part reduces roll and helps the car track truer through high-speed turns, delivering a more controlled and predictable feel on the circuit.

What the Tamiya 54538 Brings to Your Setup

Material: High-quality aluminum for durability with minimal added mass
Compatibility: Engineered specifically for M-05 chassis configurations
Installation: Supplied with two 3x27mm black screws for a secure mount

How does adding this counterweight affect cornering on the M-05?

Placing mass opposite the motor helps neutralize the chassis roll and keeps the M-05 more balanced through mid and high speed corners, which improves traction and steering consistency.

Will the Tamiya 54538 fit other Tamiya models?

The counterweight is made for the M-05 layout; other models may require drilling or different mounting hardware and are not guaranteed to be compatible without modification.

Any tips for installing the 3x27mm screws?

Hand-start the screws to avoid cross-threading and tighten to a firm feel rather than over-torquing. Check the mount after a few runs to ensure nothing has loosened.
