Wheelie Roller Upgrade Using Tamiya 54473

The Tamiya 54473 Aluminum Wheelie Roller Set is built to swap in for the original plastic roller on WR-02 based models, such as Wild Willy 2 and the Volkswagen Bus Type 2. It lifts the look of the rear roller while helping maintain a steadier lift when performing wheelies.

1050 Bearings for Reduced Friction

These aluminium rollers come with built-in 1050 ball bearings which lower friction compared to plastic parts. The result is smoother rotation and more predictable wheels-up behaviour for wheelie-oriented setups.

Straightforward Fit and Compatibility Notes

Installation is designed to be user friendly for model builders. The set is intended for Wheelie series WR-02 variants and will fit with little to no modification on compatible kits.

Are these rollers a direct replacement for stock parts?

Yes, the rollers are made to replace the standard plastic wheelie roller on WR-02 models. Confirm your chassis type before fitting to be sure.

Do I need grease or maintenance for the bearings?

The sealed 1050 bearings are low maintenance but periodic cleaning and a drop of light bearing oil will keep them rolling freely over time.

Will the blue finish resist scratches?

The coloured aluminium finish is more durable than plastic but will show wear under heavy contact. Treat it as a performance part rather than a cosmetic-only item.

Can these improve my wheelie run time?

By lowering rolling resistance and adding stability, these rollers can help maintain longer, more consistent wheelies when used on suitably tuned WR-02 models.
