FAQs

How many tires are included in this product?

This product includes two (2) tires.

Do I need to buy glue separately?

Yes, specialized RC tire glue is required for mounting the tires to the wheels and is not included with this product.

Will these tires fit my Tamiya XXX-01 model?

This product is specifically listed for models such as the Honda CR-V, LandFreeder, Amarok, and certain DF-01 and MF-01X chassis. It is not listed as compatible with the XXX-01 chassis. Please check your model's manual for compatibility.

Can I use these tires for racing?

These tires are suitable for general use and casual racing. For competitive racing, you may need tires with specific compounds and tread patterns designed for the track conditions.

How do I clean the tires for better grip?

You can clean the tires with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn grime, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by thorough drying.

Are these tires suitable for wet conditions?

These are general-purpose tires. While they offer some grip, their performance in wet conditions may be limited compared to tires specifically designed for wet traction.

Troubleshooting

Tires won't stay glued to the wheel

Ensure the wheel rim and tire bead are clean and free of dust or old glue. Use fresh, appropriate RC tire glue and apply it evenly. Allow sufficient curing time.

Uneven wear on tires

Check wheel alignment and ensure tires are mounted straight. If wear is consistent on one side, it may indicate an alignment issue with the vehicle.

Poor traction on certain surfaces

Clean the tires to remove any caked-on dirt or dust. For significantly different surfaces, consider purchasing specialized tires designed for those conditions.

Setup:

  3. Apply a thin, even layer of specialized RC tire glue to the inside bead of the tire and the rim.
  4. Carefully mount the tire onto the wheel, ensuring the bead is seated evenly all around.
  5. Allow the glue to cure completely according to the manufacturer's instructions before use.

Care:

  • Clean tires periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris, which can affect grip.
  • Store your RC car away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent tire degradation.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to oils or solvents, which can damage the rubber compound.
