M4WD-38/RE anodised aluminium axle stopper for Mini 4WD

This anodised aluminium shaft stopper serves as a spare for Mini 4WD drivetrains. The single-piece component is designed to locate and retain axle shafts in common 4WD configurations, and the red finish gives modest corrosion resistance and visual consistency with other anodised parts.

Compatibility notes: the item is a generic shaft locator aimed at Tamiya-style Mini 4WD axles. Fit will depend on axle gauge, the shoulder position, and nearby rollers or bearings. Measure the axle and confirm clearance before committing to install.

Installation guidance: set the stopper against the axle shoulder and secure it using the vehicle's existing retention system, such as a clip, nut, or press-fit. Small adjustments or light filing can correct fit on shortened or modified axles, but avoid force that could damage neighbouring components.

Longevity and care: anodised aluminium resists light corrosion but will mark with abrasive contact. Keep the area clean from dust and track debris and inspect the seating face for signs of wear; replace if deformation allows axial movement.

The shoulder position must allow the stopper to seat fully without contacting rollers or wheels. A few tenths of a millimetre can affect fit, so measure carefully.
Anodising is cosmetic plus corrosion resistance; it does not significantly alter mechanical performance but may reduce surface wear compared with bare aluminium.
Periodic checks are recommended. Inspect for nicks or deformation at the seating face and confirm no new axial play has developed.
Yes, where the bearing layout leaves a usable shoulder for the stopper. Ensure the stopper does not foul the bearing or roller during operation.
