Tamiya 95566 - 1mm Red Brake Sponge Guide

The Tamiya 95566 Brake Sponge Set is a practical accessory for those refining Mini 4WD handling. With a 1mm thickness the red sponges suit drivers who prefer a subtle braking effect instead of the heavier 2mm and 3mm choices. The set includes six pads that are best positioned on low-clearance zones like the chassis underside to help keep the car planted and reduce the risk of it coming off the track at speed. It is compatible with Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO models and helps racers dial in smoother speed control.

Will the sponges alter lap times significantly?

They can change lap behaviour by reducing excessive speed on tricky sections, but the 1mm thickness aims to keep top speed impacts minimal.

Which mounting method works best?

Low-traction glue spots or thin double-sided tape are common; place small dots so the pad still flexes slightly against the track surface.

Can these survive repeated hits and crashes?

They are durable for normal racing, but heavy impacts may compress or detach them, so check pads regularly and replace when worn.

Should I use 1mm or thicker sponges for high speed tracks?

On very fast, open layouts the 1mm gives lighter control; for aggressive slowing you might consider 2mm or 3mm, depending on how much braking you need.

Are the sponges washable or reusable?

You can clean them gently if they pick up dirt, but repeated cleaning and heavy wear will reduce their thickness and effectiveness.
