Give Your 1/16 Sherman a Metal Upgrade

The Tamiya 84221 Die-Cast Metal Idler Wheels are aimed at modellers who want a tougher, more realistic idler assembly for their 1/16 Sherman. With die-cast construction and ball bearings included, these wheels provide a solid feel and reduce rotational friction for cleaner running.

They fit selected Sherman models, notably the M4 Sherman 105mm Howitzer and the M51 "Super Sherman". The fine mould detail helps maintain scale fidelity and adds visual impact on finished models.

Material: Die-cast metal
Includes: 2 idler wheels
Compatibility: M4 Sherman 105mm Howitzer, M51 "Super Sherman"
Scale: 1/16

Do these idlers come ready to fit?

They arrive complete with bearings fitted, so in many cases they can replace the factory items directly. Ensure you have the right axle hardware from your kit and test fit before final assembly.

Will these improve drive smoothness?

The ball bearings help reduce drag at the idler end, which can translate to slightly smoother track movement. They are not a drivetrain overhaul but a practical incremental upgrade.

Any fitting advice for scale builders?

Check alignment carefully when fitting to avoid binding. Use thread locker sparingly on metal fasteners and confirm free rotation before sealing up hull panels.

Are these suitable for display and running?

Yes, they suit both display models and running tanks; the die-cast finish looks great on a shelf while the bearings support practical use on the track.
