Anniversary Edition - Tamiya 95117 Fully Cowled Mini 4WD

The Tamiya 95117 anniversary edition joins super hard tyres with matte wheels to honour 25 years of the Fully Cowled Mini 4WD range. The combination provides practical handling improvements alongside a subtle, premium aesthetic.

Design Intent and Compatibility

Super hard tyres are intended to reduce vertical movement on rapid sections, yielding steadier runs. The matte wheels offer a low-sheen finish and help keep weight down. These parts are compatible with many Tamiya Mini 4WD chassis, allowing for straightforward upgrades and custom setups.

On-Track Advantages

Using super hard tyres tends to lower tread wear and maintain consistent grip over race distance. While matte wheels are primarily visual, their lighter build can marginally aid rotational inertia, which may benefit lap performance in close racing.

In many cases yes, but confirm wheel boss size and body clearance on older models to avoid interference with wheel arches or chassis components.
Super hard tyres give a firmer contact patch which can make cornering more predictable on smooth tracks, though they may offer less mechanical grip on rough surfaces.
Store wheels in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and solvents. Keep them in a box or on a tray to prevent scuffs to the matte finish.
