Overview of the mini 4WD catcher

The Tamiya 15474 Mini 4WD Car Catcher is a practical tool for improving safety and retrieval efficiency on the track. It is aimed at racers who want a reliable way to stop cars without risking hand injuries during collection.

How the catcher is built and works

The catcher uses a fold-together assembly for speedy setup and compact storage. A lower protruding flap intercepts the car and reduces its speed, producing a controlled stop. The part is finished in light green plastic and carries a printed Mini 4WD logo.

Material choice and hand safety

Built from a two-layer plastic construction, the catcher offers secure catching action while reducing direct contact risk. This makes it a sensible accessory for club nights and organised meetings where safe handling matters.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: Width: 110mm, Length: 190mm, Height: 70mm
  • Material: Light green plastic with printed Mini 4WD logo
  • Safety Feature: 2-layer construction for hand protection

For event organisers and hobbyists alike, the Tamiya 15474 Mini 4WD Car Catcher is a straightforward way to make recovery safer and faster.

No, the fold-together design allows rapid assembly and removal so it will not significantly slow down race schedules.
Replacement options depend on availability from retailers; if damaged, inspect the part and seek a replacement from official Tamiya stockists or hobby suppliers.
It is intended for standard track surfaces; on uneven or soft ground the catcher may not sit flat and stopping performance could be reduced.
The printed logo is durable for normal use, but prolonged abrasion or exposure to chemicals may affect the print over time.
Many clubs accept catchers like this for safety; check event rules to confirm whether external track accessories are permitted during official races.
