M4WD-49/BL black aluminium chassis rail guard

A compact aluminium rail guard intended for experienced Mini 4WD enthusiasts who restore or maintain Tamiya Mini 4WD cars. The guard is finished in black and made from aluminium to provide a reliable replacement or neat trim for chassis rails.

Compatibility changes with different Tamiya bodies and chassis types. The guard is formed to match common rail fixing points used on many Mini 4WD models, but confirm hole alignment and body clearance with bumpers and clips before final installation. Consider this item a cosmetic replacement rather than a tuning upgrade.

Caring for the black surface is simple: use a soft cloth and mild cleaner. Inspect mating surfaces for burrs or paint transfer when fitting to older kits. The guard works well for display or restored models where uniform finish and durability are desired.

Hole spacing should match to within a millimetre for proper alignment. Use a caliper to check centres and consider a trial screw to confirm fit.
If there is tight contact, paint transfer can occur. Ensure correct clearance and consider using small adhesive pads between metal and shell if needed.
It is primarily a cosmetic and replacement part; while robust, it is not designed as a performance tuning component for competitive gains.
Confirm hole alignment, check for interference with bumpers and clips, and smooth any sharp edges with a fine file before tightening screws.
