Technical summary for the 2.5g red dish weight

This 2.5g dish weight from 3Racing is intended as a compact mass damper for fine tuning chassis behaviour. It is aimed at racers who adjust mass distribution to refine handling and reduce high frequency vibration during fast sections.

Operational purpose and chassis fit

The unit functions to absorb minor oscillations and stabilise pitch and roll at speed. Its low-profile design enables fitment to a range of Tamiya Mini 4WD chassis without significant modification, allowing quick A/B testing during setup sessions.

Setup guidance for competitive use

Apply the 2.5g weight as part of a measurement-driven setup routine: test front, central and rear locations to evaluate effects on entry behaviour and mid-corner balance. The modest mass helps lower effective centre of gravity and can yield more repeatable corner exits when used alongside standard tuning adjustments.

Which test protocol is best for evaluating this weight?

Use controlled lap runs with consistent battery charge and tyres. Change only the weight location between runs and record lap times and handling notes to identify the most stable configuration.

How does 2.5g compare to heavier dampers?

At 2.5g the effect is subtle and precise, suited to incremental tuning. Heavier dampers produce larger shifts in balance and may require broader setup changes to accommodate added mass.

Any recommended starting positions?

Begin with a central low mount to assess baseline changes, then move forward or rearward to dial entry and exit balance. Log results after each change for data-driven decisions.
