Tamiya 95636 - HG Heavy Aluminum Wheels Large Diameter Narrow (2 Pcs.)

The Tamiya 95636 HG Heavy Aluminum Wheels are precision-engineered components designed to enhance the performance of your Mini 4WD vehicles. These large-diameter narrow wheels are crafted from machined aluminum, offering a significant upgrade over standard resin wheels by providing a lower center of gravity. This design choice improves running stability, making them ideal for competitive racing environments.

Functionality and Compatibility

These wheels are compatible with Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO models that accommodate large-diameter, narrow tires. They are particularly suited for use with specific tire models such as Item 15368 (Large Dia. Narrow Lightweight Wheels with Arched Tires) and Item 15388 (Narrow Reston Sponge Tires). The inclusion of polypropylene bushings ensures smooth wheel rotation when mounted on stock axles, further enhancing performance.

Tuning and Racing Impact

Weighing approximately 14 grams per pair, these wheels can be strategically used on either the front or rear of the vehicle to adjust weight distribution and balance. This flexibility allows racers to fine-tune their setups for optimal performance on various track configurations. The weight is comparable to other heavy aluminum wheels, providing an effective means to stabilize high-speed runs and improve cornering capabilities.

Assembly and Practical Use

Assembly is straightforward, with each set including four white PP bushings for secure attachment. For those looking to replace bushings, it is recommended to use Item 10306 (Mini 4WD Bushing for Aluminum Wheels). Some vehicle bodies may require minor modifications to ensure proper fitment, thus enhancing the customization potential for hobbyists.
