Introduction to the Skid Roller Set

The Tamiya 15520 Rear Skid Roller Set is designed to improve the stability of Mini 4WD cars by controlling excessive nose lift. It works with MS and FM-A chassis and is useful for racers seeking cleaner lines through technical sections.

Construction and Fitment Notes

This kit features smoke polycarbonate components teamed with low-friction POM rollers for smooth operation. The white 8mm rollers are positioned to apply a measured braking action if the nose lifts, helping the car to settle back onto the track. Installation is compatible with both MS and FM-A chassis formats.

Benefits During Racing

Fitting the skid rollers helps reduce the risk of flipping or running wide, improving consistency over multiple laps. The controlled damping effect is particularly helpful on layouts with steep jumps or tight chicanes.

Can I adjust the roller engagement depth?

Yes. Small adjustments to the mount height will change when the rollers contact the track, allowing you to tune engagement for different setups.

How often should I inspect the rollers?

Inspect rollers after every few race sessions for wear or flat spots, and replace them when friction or performance drops noticeably.

Are these compatible with aftermarket bodies?

They work with most bodies, but check clearance at the rear and around the bumper. Some custom bodies may require trimming to clear the mounts.

Will the skid rollers affect top speed?

Any speed impact is minimal. The rollers are intended to engage only when the nose lifts, so normal straight-line speed is largely unchanged while stability is improved.
