3Racing M4WD-38/BL shaft stopper for Mini 4WD use

The 3Racing M4WD-38/BL is an aluminum shaft stopper intended as a direct replacement for common plastic retainers on Tamiya Mini 4WD models. Its black anodized finish and machined profile are focused on fit and durability rather than altering drivetrain geometry.

Where collectors and builders commonly swap worn plastic parts, this stopper offers a metal option that resists wear from repeated maintenance. The part is presented as a single collar-style stopper; installation generally follows the same mounting approach as the original plastic piece.

In practical use, the stopper serves to limit axial play of wheel or gear shafts and to provide a consistent seating surface for bearings or bushings used on performance chassis. It is appropriate for routine replacements, restoration of older models, or when a more durable stop surface is preferred during repeated assembly and disassembly.

Handle installation with standard hobby tools and avoid over-torquing fasteners to prevent distortion of mating parts. The part does not change gear ratios, motor specifications, or basic drivetrain layout; keep standard setup practices for the chassis in use.

The stopper is intended for common Mini 4WD setups and is used where Tamiya plastic shaft stoppers are fitted; compatibility is typically with MA, MS, AR and similar performance chassis.
Most installations use the same seating as the original plastic stopper; no routine machining is expected. Inspect mating parts before final assembly and file only if minor interference appears.
Basic hobby hand tools suffice: small drivers for screws, a pair of fine pliers for positioning, and a stable workspace for reassembly. Avoid high-torque drivers that can deform small parts.
Yes. It is commonly used to replace worn plastic stoppers when a more durable contact surface is desired during repeated assembly or to improve long-term fit for display models.
The stopper is a like-for-like replacement in most cases. Check axial clearance after fitting and make minor adjustments to washers or spacers if necessary.
