Large Diameter Wheels Paired with Short Shafts for Tighter Performance

The Tamiya 15252 Large Diameter Wheel & Short Shaft set combines bigger wheels for greater ground contact with a shorter shaft to limit unwanted movement at the hub. This pairing promotes steadier acceleration and more predictable handling across different track profiles. The parts suit a variety of Mini 4WD models and are handy for anyone refining race setup or preparing display models.

Are special tyres required for these wheels?

You can use existing Mini 4WD tyres if they seat correctly on the larger rim, but selecting a tyre that matches your track surface will get the best results.

Will I notice any difference on high speed tracks?

On fast layouts the improved traction and reduced axle slack can make handling more consistent at speed, especially through sweeping corners and exits.

Can I still use the same rollers and bumpers?

Most rollers and bumpers remain usable, but double check clearances after fitting the larger wheels to prevent contact during full suspension travel or turns.

Is any special tooling required to fit the short shaft?

Standard hobby tools and a small press or careful hand fitting are usually enough; avoid forcing the shaft to prevent damage to hubs or bearings.

How do I check for improved energy transfer?

Compare lap consistency and throttle response before and after fitting; reduced wheel wobble and smoother exits indicate better energy transfer.
