Compact Lightweight Hub Upgrade for M-Chassis

Built as a single-piece hub and axle, this lightweight aluminium assembly reduces unsprung mass and strengthens wheel attachment. The Tamiya 54996 component is ideal for racers and hobbyists wanting a durable tuning part.

Main Advantages of the Tamiya 54996 Upgrade

Material: High-grade aluminium construction finished with a hard anodised coating for longer life.
Weight Reduction: Cuts weight to about half that of traditional metal axles with plastic hubs, aiding agility.
Adjustable Tread: Includes spacer set to replicate 4mm, 5mm and 6mm hub offsets for setup variety.
Compatibility: Compatible with M-05, M-06, M-07 and M-08 Concept chassis families.

How do the spacers change handling?

Adjusting spacing alters track width and scrub radius, which influences turn-in and stability. Small changes can noticeably change cornering behaviour.

Is the anodised finish durable for frequent use?

The hard anodised layer offers good abrasion resistance for regular running, but keep grit away and check for wear after heavy sessions.

Will this change corner balance on my car?

Reducing unsprung mass and adjusting tread can shift corner balance. Use it alongside spring and tyre tweaks to reach the setup you prefer.
