M4WD-31/PK precision 17mm ringless race rollers

Engineered for 1/32 Mini 4WD competition use, these 17mm ringless rollers focus on reduced contact width and reliable seating geometry to aid consistent cornering behaviour. The machined aluminium cups are anodised for harder surfaces that resist abrasive wear during repeated runs.

Confirm post diameter and thread depth on the host chassis prior to installation. The rollers accept standard 17mm posts and common spacer configurations across MA, MS, AR, FM-A, VS and Super-II platforms. When assembling, set spacer stacks and screw engagement to achieve consistent axial clearance without inducing endplay or axial preload that could affect roll smoothness.

Service guidance for race use: routinely check cup seating and ball interface for micro wear, verify fixing torque with a calibrated driver, and replace spacers as needed to maintain repeatable alignment and clearance for peak performance.

Aim for minimal lateral freeplay while ensuring the roller spins freely; use thin shims to dial in axial clearance for each chassis setup.
Metal spacers give more consistent ride height and alignment under load, but high quality plastic spacers can be used where weight savings are critical.
Inspect after every few events or any heavy impact; check seating faces, spacer wear and screw security to prevent unpredictable behaviour on track.
Yes, adjust spacer thickness and pickup height to change contact behaviour; thorough testing will reveal optimal settings for each surface type.
