Technical Summary

The Tamiya Mini 4WD Dish Weight 2.5g in Gold from 3Racing is a compact mass damper designed for precise handling adjustments. It provides targeted damping to control chassis oscillation and improves predictability through technical sequences without adding significant overall mass.

Design Intent and Compatibility

Engineered as a tuning element, this dish weight mates with multiple Tamiya chassis platforms such as MS, MA and AR. Its low 2.5g mass allows racers to tune dynamic response while retaining acceleration performance.

Track Tuning Applications

Place the weight centrally to stabilise pitch and roll, or shift it fore and aft to influence entry and exit behavior. Use it alongside tyre selection and gearing adjustments to tune traction transfer during cornering phases.

Recommended Setup Workflow

Begin with baseline runs without the damper, then add the dish weight and record handling changes. Iterate placement and combine with minor suspension or tyre changes to converge on optimal lap consistency for a given circuit.

What chassis platforms are validated for this weight?

Compatibility includes common Tamiya Mini 4WD families such as MS, MA and AR. Check mounting allowances on nonstandard or heavily modified chassis before fitting.

How does placement affect handling in practice?

Central mounting tends to reduce pitch and improve overall stability, forward placement can help front-end grip, and rear placement can stabilise exits. Small shifts provide measurable changes during setup tuning.

Is this part intended for competitive tuning?

Yes, it is intended as a tuning component for racers who want to refine handling characteristics. It complements other competitive upgrades like tyres and motor selection.

Any installation tips for race setups?

Use measured test runs and incremental placement changes. Document each change so you can revert quickly if a setup change degrades lap times.
