Fine-Tune Cornering with the Tamiya 15258 Steering System

The Tamiya 15258 Steering System is a practical add-on for Mini 4WD fans who want crisper turn response. This kit steers the front wheels during bends to reduce drag on the motor and improve overall handling. It supports both small and large diameter tyres so you can swap tyre profiles to match different track surfaces. Whether preparing a race setup or refining a weekend racer, this steering system helps you get more consistent laps.

Track Tests and Setup Notes

Field testing of the Tamiya 15258 Steering System on common Mini 4WD layouts showed noticeable handling gains. Trials recommended a narrow front roller layout with wider rear rollers to increase stability through corners. That balance is particularly useful for local club tracks where tight turns are frequent. The summary below highlights lap time differences recorded during testing.

  • Oval Home Course (10 laps): With Steering System: 11.81 sec, Without: 12.04 sec
  • Junior Circuit (12 laps): With Steering System: 19.88 sec, Without: 20.12 sec
Most standard Mini 4WD chassis with provision for adjustable front wheel mounts will take the Tamiya 15258 Steering System. Check your chassis mounting points for clearance before fitting.
Testing suggests keeping the front rollers set closer together and the rear rollers wider to stabilise turns. Small incremental changes are best to find the sweet spot for your track.
Because the unit helps align the wheels during corners, it can reduce unnecessary wheel scrub and may slightly ease motor load. Real-world impact on battery life depends on driving style and track layout.
