Aluminium shaft locator M4WD-38/RE for Mini 4WD assemblies

This compact aluminium shaft stopper is supplied as a replacement piece for Mini 4WD gearsets. It is a single-piece design intended to locate and retain axle shafts in common 4WD chassis setups, and the red anodised coating offers basic corrosion resistance plus a matched appearance with other coloured parts.

Fit notes: the part is a generic stopper suited to Tamiya-style Mini 4WD axles; proper installation depends on axle diameter, shoulder placement, and surrounding roller or bearing clearance. Check measurements and spacing before fitting to ensure correct seating.

Installation tips: seat the stopper against the axle shoulder and secure it using the chassis retention method present on your model (clip, nut, or press-fit). Small trimming or careful filing may help alignment on modified axles, but avoid heavy force.

Maintenance tips: anodised aluminium resists light corrosion but can mark under abrasive contact. Regular cleaning and inspection of the seating surface will prolong service life; replace if the bore or face deforms.

Use callipers to measure your axle diameter and the shoulder position, then compare those figures to the stopper bore and seating length to verify fit.
The red surface is an anodised treatment on aluminium, offering better wear and corrosion resistance than a simple paint coat.
When correctly located it should not touch wheels or tyres. Misfit or incorrect bore sizing can cause contact and increase rolling resistance. Verify clearance after fitting.
