For 1/10 scale glow engine R/C setups, the Tamiya 53742 front sponge tyres provide stable front-end grip that helps dial in corner entry. Being pre-mounted, they cut down setup time between sessions.
The sponge compound is developed to keep a usable contact patch across a range of temperatures. That consistency helps with predictable steering and controlled exits when you push the pace.
Tamiya labels their compounds with numbers to make choosing easier. Use lower numbers for tackier grip and higher numbers when you need a tougher tyre for rough or abrasive circuits.
