Handling and setup notes for the Tamiya 15213 N. One-Way Wheel wide tread

The Tamiya 15213 N. One-Way Wheel provides a wide tread option that helps fine tune grip and stability for Mini 4WD racers. It is useful when refining corner entry and mid-corner control.

Profile and on-track effects

The increased tread width broadens the contact area, helping to reduce lateral slip and smoothing transitions through tight sections. Drivers can expect steadier responses under varying loads.

Chassis and installation guidance

These wheels suit several Tamiya chassis families including AR and MA without major modification. Confirm clearance around body mounts and brake posts if your car has bespoke parts.

Tuning approaches for better lap times

Balance gearing and motor selection to offset any extra rolling drag from the wider tread. Experiment with tyre compounds and ride height to dial in cornering and straight-line performance.

Check hub spacing, body clip positions and any nearby mountings to ensure the wider tread does not rub at full lock or during suspension movement.
A medium soft tyre compound often gives the best balance between traction and wear for technical tracks when using a wide tread wheel.
Consider lowering the final drive or selecting a motor with a bit more top-end to compensate for any additional resistance from wider tyres.
Regularly clean hubs and bearings, rotate tyres if possible, and keep track of setup logs so you can reproduce the best-performing configuration.
