Product Snapshot

The Tamiya 95397 - 19mm Aluminum 5 Spoke Rollers with Plastic Rings in light blue deliver a neat balance of reduced rotating mass and eye-catching colour for Mini 4WD models. The aluminium body keeps weight down while the plastic rings provide a smooth contact surface and visual contrast on your car.

Construction and Compatibility Notes

These 19mm rollers feature a five-spoke aluminium design combined with plastic rings to limit friction and improve responsiveness. Integrated ball bearings support freer rotation, lowering drag on straights and through bends. They are broadly compatible with Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO layouts but some chassis may require slight modification for clearance.

Racing Effects

Using aluminium rollers like these tends to stabilise cornering by cutting rotational resistance, which can help lap consistency. The light blue rings help with quick visual ID during heats and do not significantly change handling when fitted correctly.

Will these rollers work on low-profile tracks?

Yes, they are suitable for low-profile tracks but confirm sideguard and bumper clearances. Use slim spacers if the roller rubs against the body.

Do the plastic rings affect grip on banked corners?

The rings give a consistent rolling surface against guide rails. They do not increase tyre grip but can reduce bounce and keep your line steadier on banked sections.

Any tips for fitting these to Mini 4WD PRO parts?

Test fit with the intended chassis before final assembly. Add thin washers if there is side-to-side play and make sure the bearing seats flush against the hub for best roll.

How durable are the aluminium hubs after regular racing?

Aluminium hubs resist deformation better than plastic, but repeated impacts can still dent them. Inspect after crashes and replace if you notice excessive wobble or bearing damage.
