Summary of Tamiya 95683 ringless 13mm rollers

The Tamiya 95683 Jr HG Lightweight 13mm Tapered Aluminum Ball-Race Rollers present a practical upgrade for racers seeking reduced rotating weight while keeping robust construction. The tapered aluminium design and strategic porting cut mass without impairing strength.

Design notes and handling impact

Constructed from aluminium and supplied without outer rings, these rollers focus on longevity and lightness. The tapered geometry helps nudge the car back on line during cornering, while integrated 520 ball bearings aid consistent, low-friction rotation.

Applicable chassis and installation

Suitable for use with both Mini 4WD PRO and standard Mini 4WD models, the rollers slot into a variety of chassis arrangements. This makes them a convenient tuning component to refine handling without major rebuilds.

Weight specification and effect on performance

Each roller weighs around 0.77 grams, which represents a clear reduction compared with older parts such as Item 95497. Reducing roller mass helps with improved acceleration and sharper response when exiting corners.

In most cases standard Mini 4WD mounting hardware works fine. Verify hole and shaft dimensions before fitting to ensure a snug, secure installation.
The tapered profile is intended to assist re-entry to the track during cornering, which can reduce the risk of derailing depending on your chassis tuning and track layout.
Inspect bearings regularly for grit or looseness. Clean and apply a light bearing oil as part of routine maintenance to preserve free spin and longevity.
