Precision Fitment with the Tamiya 95496 Lightweight Plastic Spacer Set

The Tamiya 95496 Lightweight Plastic Spacer Set is aimed at Mini 4WD builders who value precise wheel and axle alignment. Included are five spacer thicknesses (12mm, 6.7mm, 6mm, 3mm, and 1.5mm) that allow incremental setup changes. Made from a plastic material that is approximately 40% lighter than aluminium alternatives, the spacers reduce vehicle mass while preserving necessary strength. Their low friction surface also helps limit time lost when the car brushes the track barriers.

Will these spacers alter handling noticeably?

Small changes in thickness can shift balance and clearance; used carefully they are a precise way to tweak understeer or oversteer tendencies.

Is the weight saving significant on lap times?

Reducing rotating mass and overall weight helps responsiveness and can yield small gains, especially over multiple laps where reduced friction also matters.

Do I need special tools to fit these spacers?

No special tools are required beyond normal nut and axle tools; just ensure parts are seated and secure before racing.

Are they a good upgrade over metal spacers?

They offer a useful compromise: lower weight and reduced friction compared with metal, while still providing reliable spacing for competitive setups.
