Technical note on M4WD-02/LB light blue 4mm hex posts

The M4WD-02/LB kit supplies light blue 4mm hex posts intended as direct-fit replacement parts for Tamiya Mini 4WD chassis where standard 4mm hex mounts are used. These components are specified for consistent seating and appearance in maintenance and restoration workflows.

Installers should verify receptacle diameter, axial clearance and head clearance prior to assembly to ensure correct engagement. The finish is primarily visual; if corrosion resistance or surface hardness is a concern confirm surface treatment with the supplier.

These parts are intended as maintenance spares and visual matches rather than structural race upgrades. For performance tuning choose components that document material grade and machining tolerances.

What tolerance should I check for fitment?

Measure the post receptacle inner diameter and compare to 4.00 mm nominal. Allow for typical manufacturing tolerance of +/-0.05 mm and confirm axial and radial clearance on the chassis.

Which tools give the cleanest installation?

Use a precision 4mm hex driver and align the post to avoid canting. Low torque and controlled insertion reduce stress on plastic mounts and ensure repeatable seating.

How should I check surface finish for wear?

Inspect contact faces and coating under magnification after use. Look for abrasion or coating loss at high-contact points and replace if dimensional fit is affected.

Are these posts suitable for repeated disassembly?

Yes, provided mounting points are not over-stressed. Repeated assembly is acceptable if fasteners are torqued correctly and the chassis material remains intact.
