Overview of Tamiya 15187 L.W. Special Ratio Gearing

The Tamiya 15187 L.W. Special Ratio Gearing is aimed at hobbyists and competitors wanting more control over gear ratios in their Mini 4WD cars. Compatible with Super FM and Super TZ chassis, it provides a lightweight option for tuning speed versus acceleration.

Function and Fitment

Intended for Super FM and Super TZ models, the Tamiya 15187 gear set installs into the usual drivetrain layout and offers ratio adjustments to suit different motor and wheel combinations. It is straightforward to fit for builders familiar with Mini 4WD maintenance.

Choosing a special ratio can yield sharper acceleration from slow corners and raise terminal speed on longer straights, advantages that translate to more consistent lap times. The reduced weight also helps the car react faster to steering inputs.
