Precision aluminium collar for Mini 4WD shafts

The M4WD-38/BL shaft stopper is a machined aluminium collar supplied to replace common plastic shaft stoppers on Tamiya Mini 4WD kits. Its black anodised finish and machined profile prioritise a repeatable seating surface and improved resistance to wear without modifying drivetrain geometry.

Collectors and builders who perform regular tear-downs will find the metal collar resists deformation better than plastic alternatives. The component is provided as a single collar-style stopper and generally mounts in the same way as the original plastic part.

In practice the stopper limits axial movement of axle or gear shafts and delivers a stable bearing or bushing contact face on MA, MS, AR and related chassis. It is suitable for restoration projects, routine part replacement, or any application where a more durable stop surface is required.

Install using standard hobby tools and take care not to over-torque small fixings to avoid distorting mating components. The stopper does not change gearing, motor characteristics, or core drivetrain layout; retain usual setup practices for the chassis.

It fits typical locations where the original plastic shaft stopper is used, commonly on MA, MS and AR performance chassis. Always double-check dimensions before fitting.
Clean mating surfaces and remove any burrs on the shaft. Light dressing of the seating area may be required if the original parts have deformed over time.
The collar is designed to preserve original clearances; check axial play after installation and tweak washers or spacers if small adjustments are needed for optimal tracking.
Yes. Its metal construction is well suited to display and preservation use since it resists the compression and cracking that can affect plastic stoppers over time.
Use low torque on small screws and verify that the collar sits squarely on the shaft to avoid introducing runout or binding during rotation.
