Low-Profile Wheel and Short Shaft for Tamiya Mini 4WD

The Tamiya 15253 Small Diameter Wheel & Short Shaft package is aimed at racers and builders who want nimble Mini 4WD performance. These components are produced for accurate fit and steady behaviour when running complex layouts.

How It Works and Where It Fits

Smaller wheels help negotiate tight chicanes and twisty sections by lowering ride height and improving turn-in. The short shaft is made to mate with a range of Tamiya Mini 4WD chassis formats, offering a flexible option for custom builds or race tuning.

Race-Day Effects and Setup Notes

Using this wheel and shaft combo can result in quicker directional changes and improved lap consistency on demanding tracks. The parts are machined to tolerances that help reduce runout and make fine tuning more predictable.

Can I use these wheels on high-speed setups?

They suit tracks with lots of corners; for very high top-speed circuits you may prefer larger diameter wheels to maintain stability and gearing ratio.

Do I need different tyres with these wheels?

Select tyres that match the smaller rim diameter and your track surface. Softer compounds often help traction on technical layouts, while harder compounds roll better on smoother boards.

Will gear ratio be affected?

Smaller wheels reduce effective gearing, which can improve acceleration but may lower top speed. You may need to adjust gear choices to balance acceleration and lap time.

Maintenance advice for these parts?

Keep shafts and wheel bores free of grit, check for wear regularly, and replace bushings or bearings if runout appears to maintain consistent performance.
