The Tapered Aluminum Rollers (Japanese: テーパータイプアルミローラー, Tēpā-Taipu Arumi Rōrā) is a series of Mini 4WD Grade-Up Parts released by Tamiya since August 12, 2018.
General info[]
The tapered roller is a version of the ringless aluminum ball-bearing roller, but with the tapered underside. When mounted underneath the stay, it can prevents the car from slip out from the track when riding on the fence after the jump. Depends on the roller size, however, the car can get stucked at the fence, so It is best to mount an addition FRP or CFRP plate underneath the tapered rollers.
The tapered rollers are available in 13mm, 17mm and 19mm sizes. All tapered bearing has the built-in 520-size ball bearing for smoother rotation.
