Upgrade Front-End Agility with Aluminum Uprights

The Tamiya 54177 M-05 Aluminum Front Upright is a popular chassis upgrade for drivers seeking reduced weight and better front-end feedback. Compatible with M-05, M-03, and M-04 chassis, these uprights combine a tidy appearance with practical handling benefits.

Performance Gains from Aluminum Parts

Made from quality aluminum, these uprights resist deformation and wear more effectively than stock plastic hubs while trimming unsprung weight. The payoff is improved steering accuracy and a more planted feel when entering corners or changing direction quickly.

Specifications

  • Material: Aluminum
  • Compatibility: M-05, M-03, M-04 chassis
  • Function: Lower weight and enhanced strength

Do these uprights require different bearings?

No special bearings are required; standard wheel bearings used on the M-05 family will work as long as they are in good condition.

Are they suitable for bashing as well as racing?

They are tougher than plastic uprights and handle light bashing, but extreme impacts may still bend metal parts or stress adjoining components.

How do I maintain these uprights?

Keep mounting points clean, check fasteners regularly, and inspect for burrs after heavy use to maintain reliable performance.
