Technical Performance

The RC4WD Spare Wheel and Tyre Holder represents meticulous engineering focussed on weight optimisation and mounting security. At just 7.5 grams, this component is engineered to add minimal rotational or suspended mass to your MST 4WD off-road car, preserving the vehicle's inherent handling characteristics and battery efficiency across trail sessions. The nylon material selected by RC4WD engineers delivers the optimal balance between durability and lightness — strong enough to withstand the vibrations and impacts of genuine trail running and bashings, yet lightweight enough that it won't compromise your model's performance or responsiveness. The mounting system utilises precise M2 and M4 fastening hardware in steel with black finish, ensuring your spare wheel remains absolutely secure during high-speed runs, jumps, and rough terrain navigation. The nylon construction also resists UV degradation and moisture exposure, making it suitable for UK outdoor use throughout the year. Each component is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the MST J4 Jimny body's existing mounting points, creating a professional installation that looks factory-fitted. This is not an aftermarket bodge — it's a precision RC accessory that RC4WD has designed specifically for scale authenticity and functional reliability on models that demand the highest standards.
