Tamiya 95580 - 17mm Red Aluminum Rollers, Plastic Ring Upgrade  [95580]

Tamiya 95580 - Compact 17mm Roller Overview

The Tamiya 95580 17mm Aluminum Rollers are a practical upgrade for Mini 4WD hobbyists who want sharper handling on sprint and technical tracks. The dish style gives added rigidity while allowing the roller to spin freely, a key factor for tight racing lines.

Construction and Bearings

These rollers are machined from aluminum and include built-in 520 ball bearings to cut friction and preserve speed. The red plastic rings serve as both a visual marker and a low-friction interface, making it easier to spot and service each roller during events. Their sturdy build helps resist deformation on tracks with frequent contact.

Fitment and Chassis Notes

Designed to work with Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO chassis, the rollers slot into most common mounting points. Some bodies or custom setups might need minor trimming or spacer adjustments to achieve an ideal fit. Their adaptability makes them useful for a range of builds from casual to more tuned machines.

Track Performance

Fitting 17mm rollers like these improves cornering stability by keeping a more consistent contact patch with sidewalls and guide rails. This reduces speed loss through bends and can help tidy up lap times when combined with proper setup and tyre choice.
