The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Ultimate "Tuning Secret" for High-Speed Technical Tracks! If you’re looking to shave milliseconds off your lap times, the tire and wheel setup is where the magic happens. This set combines black Low Friction Low-Profile tires with carbon fiber reinforced fin-spoke wheels, creating a high-performance foundation for any competitive Mini 4WD build. This specific release is particularly noteworthy as it marks the first time these ultra-popular low friction tires are available in a sleek, professional black. Whether you're building for speed or stability, this combo is an essential addition to your pit box.
Engineered for Speed and Bounce Reduction Low friction tires are a favorite among pro racers because their lower grip allows for much smoother cornering. By fitting them to the front, you reduce the "dig" into the track during turns; fitting them to the rear helps stabilize the car and shorten jumps. Paired with carbon-reinforced wheels, which are significantly stiffer than standard plastic, this setup retains its shape under high RPM and works to absorb impact, drastically reducing car bouncing after jumps.
Key Benefits:
Low Friction Compound: Features a hard tire compound designed to minimize grip for faster cornering and more controlled landings.
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Wheels: The fin-type spokes are built with carbon material to ensure the wheels stay perfectly true and reduce energy-losing bounce.
Pro Stealth Look: For the first time, these high-performance low friction tires are available in black, perfect for maintaining a clean, professional aesthetic.
Versatile Tuning: Use them on the front to increase turn-in speed or on the rear to manage how your car behaves over obstacles.
