OK, thanks, then I spent my lunch break effectively:
It's 4mm stainless steel, they are 12 grams each. I didn't bother with a clamp screw, I just undersized the main hole, opened up the slot with a screwdriver, slid the weights on and removed the screwdriver again. They seem to be stuck on there pretty well. I did have to cut back the reinforcement ribs on the hubs about 3mm.
I just cannot lose coming weekend
At least the car is pretty decent.

Thanks Raman. I should check out the M06 down the road. RWD is fun to drive for sure!

The Tamiya Specs site says they're 10 grams, and here I found 12:

So I'm not really sure. I'll just leave them on, and keep the car as is tomorrow, only optimise the tires. I need track time with the car at this point, not necessarily the best possible set-up.

I'll revive the M06 thread a bit. I am dusting off my M06 to begin getting it ready for the on road season to start here in late Sept. The diff (stock gear) got ruined at my last outing w/ my car at Marshall's in March. Should I stick w/ the stock gear diff parts for rebuild or should I consider the ball diff instead? The car was a handful when I 1st started with it last November, but using some setup tips I found on this thread and a LOT of laps, the car was getting better and better. Looking forward to getting the Mini's back on the track!

I apologize if this was answered already. I searched for 15 minutes and couldn't find an answer.
I am trying to install the 54194 M-05 ball diff into a standard M-06 kit.
When I assemble the diff housings, the diff is able to slide back and forth axially (left to right on the car) about 1mm. I checked my M-05 Pro with the same diff, and there is barely any slop in the diff.
Did I build it wrong?
Or do I just need to find or make an appropriately sized spacer to take up the slop?
Or just live with the slop?
