The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Smooth Cornering, Feather-Light Weight! If you need to upgrade your stock rollers but want to keep your machine as light as possible, these 13mm low-friction plastic rollers are a fantastic choice. At Hobby Hideaway, we recommend this set for racers looking to smooth out their cornering and improve track stability through technical sections without the added weight or cost of an all-aluminum roller setup.
Glide Through the Corners Molded from a specialized low-friction plastic (POM), these 13mm rollers naturally resist drag against the track walls, allowing your machine to glide through curves rather than aggressively scraping against them. This set is particularly useful because it includes long mounting screws and spacer tubes. This hardware makes it incredibly easy to create higher, stacked roller arrangements that act as stabilizers, drastically reducing the chances of your car tilting and flying off the course during high-speed lane changes or jump landings.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Low Friction Material: Specialized plastic construction minimizes track wall drag for faster cornering speeds.
Standard 13mm Size: A highly versatile roller diameter that fits almost any front or rear bumper setup.
Extended Hardware: Includes long screws and spacer tubes specifically designed for high-mount and stabilized setups.
Lightweight Advantage: Keeps your car agile and responsive by saving weight compared to heavy metal rollers.
Universal Fit: Compatible with all standard Mini 4WD and PRO series chassis.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: When using the included long screws, a very popular and effective tuning method is the "Double Roller" setup. You can mount a heavy-duty 13mm aluminum roller at the bottom of the screw (closest to the track) for durability, and mount one of these low-friction plastic rollers at the very top of the same screw. The top roller sits safely out of the way on flat sections, but immediately catches the wall and acts as a smooth, lightweight guide if your car starts to lean over in a high-speed corner!
