Product Summary and Purpose

The Tamiya 15520 Rear Skid Roller Set is built to help Mini 4WD racers keep their cars stable at speed, especially when the front end tends to lift. It is suitable for machines using MS and FM-A chassis and integrates into typical race setups.

Components and Fitment Details

The kit includes smoke-tinted polycarbonate brackets and smooth POM rollers that reduce friction with tracks and guardrails. The white 8mm rollers are placed to act as a damping brake when the nose rises, helping to recover the car quickly. Compatibility covers both MS and FM-A chassis types with straightforward fitting steps.

Practical Track Use

Using this skid roller arrangement reduces the chance of flipping or losing the racing line during hard cornering. It helps drivers maintain speed through transitions and can be a useful tuning point when balancing grip versus stability.

No. Basic model-building skills are enough. The kit is bolt-on for most MS and FM-A chassis, though you should check alignment before running.
They perform well on standard carpet and plastic track layouts where controlling nose lift is important. On very rough surfaces, check for extra wear on the rollers.
Yes. Adjusting roller height and angle or swapping to slightly different roller materials will change how much braking is applied when the nose lifts.
Replacement 8mm rollers are commonly available from hobby suppliers. Stick to low-friction grades to preserve the intended behaviour.
