Overview of JR 3-spoke roller upgrade

The Tamiya 15161 JR 3-Spoke Ball-Race Rollers are a useful parts upgrade for Mini 4WD tuners who want steadier handling through turns. These 17mm aluminium rollers are intended to provide consistent roll and improved control at race pace.

Design focus and benefits

The three-spoke aluminium construction keeps the component light yet robust, reducing unnecessary mass. Fitted rubber rings act as micro dampers, cutting vibration and helping the chassis track reliably when negotiating corners.

Versatility and track use

These rollers fit many Tamiya Mini 4WD chassis, offering flexibility for different car setups. They are particularly handy when dialing in cornering performance for tighter circuits or event tracks.

They suit a broad range of Tamiya Mini 4WD chassis that accept 17mm rollers; check your chassis manual for roller position compatibility before fitting.
Periodic cleaning of the bearings and inspection of the rubber rings is recommended. Replace rings if they show cracking or excessive wear.
Top speed is largely unchanged, but steadier handling can produce faster and more consistent lap times by reducing loss through corners.
Yes, they are durable enough for regular practice and race use; carry spare rubber rings if you compete frequently.
Check lateral clearance and adjust roller height to avoid rubbing. Test with incremental changes to find the best balance between speed and control.
