Overview of Tamiya 95580 17mm Rollers

The Tamiya 95580 17mm Aluminum Rollers are aimed at Mini 4WD racers seeking consistent handling on twisty layouts. The shallow dish profile balances strength and free rotation to help maintain momentum on technical sections.

Materials and Bearing Setup

Made from aluminum and fitted with integrated 520 ball bearings, these rollers reduce drag and sustain rotational speed. The red plastic rings make identification simple during practice and add a protective layer against sidewall abrasion.

Compatibility Tips

Compatible with Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO platforms, these rollers suit many chassis formats. Expect to make minor fitment tweaks on some body shells or when running unique bumper setups to ensure correct clearance.

Effect on Lap Times

Using 17mm rollers helps stabilise your car through corners by offering a predictable contact point with guides and walls. This consistency lowers time loss when cornering and aids in smoother, faster laps when combined with proper gear ratios.

Yes, the plastic rings can be replaced separately if they wear or crack, allowing you to keep using the aluminium roller and bearing assembly.
They work well on moderately banked tracks, but you may need to adjust roller height and spring settings to prevent rubbing on steep banks.
Remove the roller from the car, use a mild degreaser to clear grit, rinse with clean solvent, let dry, then apply a small amount of bearing lube before refitting.
