Mini-Z KSP Compound RCP Snakeskin 11mm Tire 30° (2pcs)

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Ultimate Rear Grip for the RCP Track! If you want to drop your lap times on the 1/28 scale RCP track, tires are the absolute most important upgrade you can make. The Hobby Hideaway Team highly recommends the KSP Compound Snakeskin tires for racers looking for massive, predictable rear traction. Designed specifically for the high-grip foam surface of indoor RCP tracks, these 11mm wide rear tires in a soft 30-degree compound provide the perfect balance of locked-in cornering stability and blistering forward punch out of the hairpins.

Advanced KSP Compound & Snakeskin Tread What makes these tires an absolute must-have for indoor racers is the unique snakeskin tread pattern combined with the proprietary KSP rubber compound. Fresh out of the package, the textured snakeskin surface provides immediate bite and requires significantly less break-in time compared to standard slick tires. As you put laps down and the tread slowly wears into a smooth slick, the KSP compound continues to deliver consistent, fade-free grip heat after heat. The 11mm width maximizes the rear contact patch, ensuring your micro motor translates all its power directly into forward momentum instead of wheelspin.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• RCP Optimized: Formulated with the premium KSP rubber compound explicitly designed to maximize grip on indoor RCP foam track surfaces.

• 11mm Wide Profile: The 11mm width is designed exclusively for rear wheels, providing a massive contact patch for ultimate straight-line acceleration and cornering stability.

• 30-Degree Hardness: The 30-degree shore rating is a highly versatile soft compound, ideal for generating massive rear traction without bogging down the drivetrain in the corners.

• Snakeskin Tread Pattern: Features a unique textured surface that provides immediate grip right out of the package and significantly reduces tire break-in time.

• Consistent Performance: The specialized rubber formula resists overheating and "glazing" during long mains, ensuring your lap times stay consistent from the starting tone to the finish line.

• Race Ready: Includes two (2) 11mm wide tires, perfect for equipping the rear of your 1/28 scale MR-03, MR-04, or custom pan car chassis.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: When you are mounting 11mm wide, high-grip tires on the rear of a high-powered 1/28 scale chassis, you absolutely must use double-sided tire tape! The grip these KSP tires generate on RCP is so intense that the cornering forces will actually stretch the rubber and pull the tire right off the rim mid-sweeper. Apply a clean strip of thin, double-sided Mini-Z tire tape to your wheels before mounting, and take your time massaging the tire bead so it sits perfectly flush. A perfectly seated, taped tire prevents "chassis hop" and keeps your rear end locked in!
