Low-profile mobility parts: Tamiya 70246 ball casters

The Tamiya Low-Profile Ball Casters are made to give lightweight models smooth movement while keeping the center of gravity low. They are a good match for small remote control builds and compact STEM projects that require tidy, unobtrusive support.

Compact layout and rolling elements

This iteration sits lower than Tamiya 70144, offering a neater fit on slim frames. The unit secures a 13/32 inch (about 10.3mm) grey steel ball with four retaining hooks to allow steady rolling. The POM plastic parts reduce friction for smoother travel on flat surfaces.

Mounting options and what's in the kit

You can fasten the casters to a universal plate with a single screw, or attach them with double-sided tape for temporary setups. The package contains 5mm spacers, L-shaped bracket components and the screws and nuts needed to get the assembly fitted quickly.

When mounted low they help keep stability and usually have minimal impact on steering feel for small models, provided they are positioned properly.
Smooth floors, workbench tops and short-pile carpet are ideal. They are not intended for very rough terrain where larger wheels or rollers are required.
Basic hand tools like a small screwdriver and pliers are enough. The kit includes the fasteners, so no specialised tooling is required.
