Product overview for Tamiya 15522 HG 17mm Aluminum Ball Race Rollers

The Tamiya 15522 HG 17mm Aluminum Ball Race Rollers are a precision upgrade aimed at racers who want reliable performance on time trials and club tracks. Machined from quality aluminium, they offer a durable matte finish and a compact, lightweight profile that works well with tuned chassis setups.

Bearings, fitment and installation notes

Each roller uses a 520 ball bearing at its centre to provide consistent, low-friction rotation that helps stabilise cornering lines. The kit includes two screws and four aluminium spacers for straightforward mounting on both Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO chassis. Depending on body shape and clearance, minor bodywork trimming may be needed to fit the rollers.

On-track benefits and durability

Fitting these aluminium rollers typically reduces rotational drag and improves cornering predictability during competitive runs. Their solid construction is intended to withstand repeated track use while maintaining smooth performance lap after lap.

They are designed for most Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO chassis, but check clearance around the body and gears. Some models will need small cuts or shims for a perfect fit.
The rollers use 520 ball bearings out of the box. Light bearing oil or silicone lube can help maintain smooth rotation without attracting excessive dirt.
Aluminium gives improved wear resistance and more predictable rebound on walls compared to many plastics, which can be an advantage on technical layouts. Weight and setup trade offs should be considered.
