Brief on Tamiya 95579 HG Heavy Aluminum Wheels

The Tamiya 95579 HG Heavy Aluminum Wheels provide a practical tuning option for Mini 4WD hobbyists aiming to improve on-track balance. They are intended for use with low-profile tyres to achieve a lower centre of gravity during racing.

Compatibility and Build Notes

Made from heavier aluminium, these wheels add approximately 12 grams more weight than stock wheels, which affects handling and balance. They fit Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO models that accept low-profile tyres. You can exploit the extra weight by mounting the wheels in specific positions to alter the car's roll and traction characteristics for different circuits.

On-Track Behaviour and Tuning

Reducing ride height and centre of gravity helps the car stay planted through bends and reduces unwanted roll. Fine-tuning where the heavier wheels sit on the chassis lets you dial in stability or responsiveness to match track demands.

Yes, they are compatible with Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO models that are set up for low-profile tyres, though you should verify rim width and guard clearance on your specific chassis.
Adding weight changes acceleration characteristics slightly, but the main benefit is improved stability. Many racers accept a small tradeoff in straight-line punch for better cornering consistency.
Confirm tyre seating and check for rubbing against the body or wheel housings. Try different wheel positions to see how weight distribution affects cornering before locking in your setup.
