Lock In Rear Traction for Tamiya F1 Models

For drivers aiming to improve corner bite, the Tamiya 53129 rear soft foam tyres are a straightforward upgrade for Tamiya F1 cars. Their softer sponge compound helps the rear wheels maintain grip on smooth racing surfaces.

Main Advantages

Soft Compound: Built to increase traction and provide more predictable rear end behaviour during spirited laps.
Pre-trued Design: Arrive ready to fit which minimises setup time at the bench.

Included in the Box

Two rear foam tyres
Four pieces of double-sided tape for mounting
Installation instructions

Setup Recommendations

Double-sided tape is handy for quick runs, but bonding with tyre glue is advised for racing to stop any slippage and keep the tyre seated under load.

Will these work with aftermarket rear rims?

They will fit many aftermarket rims that match standard Tamiya rear widths, but confirm inner diameter and rim profile before purchase.

How long do these foam tyres last?

Lifespan varies with use and surface; on smooth tracks they can last several sessions, but aggressive driving or abrasive surfaces reduce life.

Any tips for trimming or balancing?

If needed, lightly trim excess foam and check for even seating. A quick roll on a flat bench can reveal balance issues to correct before racing.

Is glue application difficult?

Tyre glue is straightforward to apply; use a thin, even layer on the rim and inside the tyre, then let it cure per the glue maker's instructions.
