Enhance Corner Control with the 15258 Steering System

The Tamiya 15258 Steering System offers a straightforward way to improve steering behaviour on Mini 4WD cars. It adjusts the orientation of the front wheels in turns to reduce unnecessary drag and to help the motor run more smoothly. Compatible with a range of tyre sizes, it lets you experiment with tyre choice depending on surface grip and race lines. This is a useful upgrade for racers and hobbyists seeking steadier performance through bends.

Setup Findings from Practical Runs

Practical runs with the Tamiya 15258 Steering System revealed sensible handling gains when tuned properly. The best stability in tests came from setting front rollers closer and rear rollers further apart. That setup helps maintain cleaner lines on courses with frequent curves. Below are the timing comparisons gathered during those trials.

  • 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
For most standard Mini 4WD chassis the unit is straightforward to fit, provided you check mounting clearance and align the steering components carefully.
Switching tyre diameters can alter handling, so you may need to tweak roller positions and steering angle to keep balance and track contact.
By improving cornering efficiency it can contribute to faster lap times, though actual gains depend on track layout and overall setup.
