Mini-Z KSP Compound RCP Snakeskin 11mm Tire 40° (2pcs)

KSP Compound RCP Snakeskin 11mm Tires (40°) - 2pcs

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Ultimate Predictability on Ultra-High Grip! When your indoor track starts getting incredibly "tacky" and grippy after hours of racing, running a soft tire can turn your car into a traction-rolling nightmare. The team at Hobby Hideaway highly recommends stepping up to the 40-degree compound for racers who need to free up the rear end. Designed specifically for the high-grip foam surface of indoor RCP tracks, these 11mm wide rear tires in a firm 40-degree hardness eliminate chassis hop and prevent flips, allowing you to maintain massive cornering speeds even when track grip is at its absolute peak.

Advanced KSP Compound & Snakeskin Tread What makes these tires an absolute must-have for the serious racer is the unique snakeskin tread pattern combined with the proprietary KSP rubber compound. Fresh out of the package, the textured surface provides immediate bite and requires significantly less break-in time compared to standard slick tires. The firm 40-degree compound is the hardest in the lineup, making it the ideal choice for ultra-high-bite track conditions or for racers who prefer a slightly looser rear end to help rotate the car through tight hairpins. It delivers consistent, fade-free grip heat after heat with exceptional tire life!

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• RCP Optimized: Formulated with the premium KSP rubber compound explicitly designed to maximize predictability 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.

• 40-Degree Hardness: The firm 40-degree shore rating balances high-speed rear traction perfectly and is the ultimate defense against traction rolls on ultra-high-grip layouts.

• 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 incredible durability and consistent lap times.

• 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: Because the 40-degree compound is quite firm, it is the absolute best choice when your track's grip levels are maxed out, or if you run a very heavy 1/28 scale chassis! If you notice your car violently snapping or "hopping" in the corners on standard soft tires, swapping your rear tires to these 40s will instantly smooth out your chassis. Always keep a full set of compounds (30, 35, and 40) in your pit box so you can adapt as the track evolves! And remember, always secure them to your rims with thin double-sided tire tape.
