Tamiya 15183 - Mini 4WD Speed Measuring Device

The Tamiya 15183 Mini 4WD Speed Checker is designed to let racers and hobbyists capture run times for 1:32 Mini 4WD cars. By timing a car over a fixed distance, it provides the numbers needed to compute average speed and evaluate component changes. The device serves as a practical timer and speed reference for setup work.

Technical Highlights

Made for 1:32 Mini 4WD chassis, the Tamiya Speed Checker times runs across distances suitable for short tests up to extended timed runs. This lets you compare motors, gear ratios, and wheel types under consistent conditions for more informed tuning decisions.

Practical Tips for Test Sessions

Use the unit indoors or on a flat outdoor surface to check modifications before heading to the track. Regular timed tests help isolate performance gains and make it easier to dial in motor and gearing choices.

Do I need a special stand to use the speed checker?

No special stand is required. Place the unit on a stable, level surface and ensure the car runs straight through the timing section for best results.

Can the unit be used only as a timer?

Yes. If you only need elapsed time for a run, the device can operate in timer-only mode without extra calculations.

How do I use the readings to choose gearing?

Run the same distance with different gear ratios and compare average speeds. The ratio that gives the fastest consistent time for your track conditions is generally the best choice.

What maintenance does the device need?

Keep sensor areas clean and free of debris, check connections periodically, and store the unit dry to ensure reliable timing over many sessions.

Is calibration required before first use?

Follow the setup instructions in the manual; basic alignment checks are recommended so the timing starts and stops exactly when the car passes the sensor zones.
