Product Snapshot

The Tamiya 15368 Large Diameter Narrow Lightweight Wheels with Arched Tires are aimed at Mini 4WD competitors who want lower friction and a smart visual upgrade. The arched tyre shape and slender footprint reduce the running surface area for less drag.

Visuals and Chassis Compatibility

Finished in gold with a 5-spoke pattern, these wheels bring a race-ready look while fitting a variety of Tamiya chassis such as Mini 4WD PRO, Aero Mini, Super Mini, Mighty Mini, and Racing Mini. This makes them a practical option for many race cars.

Track Performance Notes

The lightweight construction combined with a narrow contact patch lowers rolling resistance, helping the car sustain speed on smooth circuits and timed runs. They work well where low drag is the focus.

Are these wheels durable for regular club racing?

With normal use on standard tracks they hold up well, though like all lightweight parts they should be inspected after heavy impacts to ensure no cracks or deformation.

Will I need different tyres for better grip?

If you need more corner traction, consider swapping to fuller-profile tyres or wider wheels. These narrow arched tyres prioritise speed over maximum lateral grip.

Can they be used on tuned high-speed setups?

Yes, their low rolling resistance complements high-speed gear ratios and efficient motor tuning, helping maintain higher top speeds on straight sections.

How do I check for correct wheel alignment?

Mount the wheels and roll the car on a flat surface to observe tracking. Adjust axle positioning and spacers until the car runs true without rubbing on body parts or guide rails.

Is balancing necessary for these wheels?

Lightweight wheels usually do not need dynamic balancing for Mini 4WD use, but check for manufacturing inconsistencies and swap if you notice vibration or wobble.
