FAQs
What does 'Sport' compound mean?
The 'Sport' compound refers to a medium-hard rubber blend that offers a balance between durability and grip, designed for general use across various track conditions.
Are these tyres directional?
The product description does not specify a directional tread pattern. However, always ensure the front and rear tyres are installed on the correct axles according to your vehicle's setup.
What is the tyre diameter and width?
The tyre diameter is 186.4mm, and the width is 73.1mm.
Can I reuse the wheel if I need to replace the tyre?
These tyres come pre-glued to the wheel. Replacing them would involve cutting the old tyre off the wheel, which may damage the wheel depending on the method used.
What is included with this product?
This product includes two pre-glued tyres (front or rear) with inserts on black wheels, ready for mounting onto a 24mm hex hub.
What does 'Rr' stand for?
'Rr' typically stands for 'Rear', indicating these tyres are intended for the rear axle of the vehicle.
Troubleshooting
Tyres do not fit the hub.
Confirm your vehicle uses a 24mm hex wheel hub. Ensure no debris is obstructing the hex drive on the wheel or the axle.
Vehicle pulls to one side.
Check for even wear on all four tyres. Ensure the vehicle's alignment is correct and that the pre-glued tyres are mounted straight on the wheels.
Traction seems low on certain surfaces.
The 'Sport' compound is a balance; for extreme conditions, consider specialised compounds. Ensure tyres are clean and free from mud or dust.
Tyre ballooning excessively at high speeds.
The included tyre insert helps, but some ballooning is normal for larger tyres. Ensure the insert is seated correctly and consider a slightly softer compound if severe.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ready to install out of the box due to pre-gluing.
- Sport compound offers a good compromise between grip and longevity.
- Designed specifically for 1/5 scale short course applications.
- Durable construction for extended use.
- Standard 24mm hex fitment ensures broad compatibility.
Cons
- Sport compound may not provide maximum grip on very loose or high-grip surfaces compared to specialized compounds.
- Pre-glued nature means limited options for custom gluing or insert choices.
- Specific wheel offset is not detailed, requiring verification for perfect fitment.
- Wear rate might be higher than harder compounds in abrasive conditions.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These tyres come pre-glued to the wheel, requiring no additional adhesive. Simply attach them to your vehicle's hub using the 24mm hex. Ensure the vehicle's suspension is properly set up to optimize tyre contact with the ground.
Compatibility: The primary compatibility is with 1/5 scale vehicles that use a 24mm wheel hex for mounting. Verify that your vehicle's axle and hub configuration matches this standard. The tyre dimensions (186.4mm diameter, 73.1mm width) should also be compatible with your chassis's body and suspension clearance.
Care: To maintain performance, clean the tyres after each use to remove dirt and debris. Inspect for any signs of damage or excessive wear. Store the vehicle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the rubber compound.
