The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Maximum Grip, Zero Odor for Foam and Rubber Tire Racing! When racing on medium to low-bite surfaces like grey Ozite carpet, getting your tires to hook up quickly is the key to faster lap times. The Hobby Hideaway Team highly recommends SXT 3.0 Max for racers looking for an aggressive traction compound that delivers maximum performance without the headache-inducing fumes. Designed specifically for both foam and rubber tires, this odorless formula is the ultimate pit-table secret weapon to keep your car planted whether you are running on-road carpet or hitting the off-road track.
Aggressive Bite for Club Tracks and Older Carpet While many modern tracks have transitioned to high-grip CRC black carpet, plenty of local clubs still run on classic grey Ozite. SXT 3.0 Max was explicitly developed to get your tires to hook up quickly. Just look for the signature red dot on the cap! This formula quickly softens the tire and adds high grip fast, giving your RC car an aggressive, locked-in feel. Best of all, its completely odorless formulation keeps the pit room and track environment pleasant for everyone.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Odorless Formula: Delivers maximum traction-enhancing performance in a completely minimum-odor environment—perfect for indoor racing.
Aggressive Grip: Specially formulated to increase that aggressive, locked-in feeling on medium to low-bite racing surfaces.
Versatile Application: Highly effective on both foam and rubber tires for carpet and off-road racing.
Builds the Groove Fast: Excels at club tracks with smaller turnouts or older grey Ozite carpet where building a high-grip racing line quickly is essential.
Dialed-In Soak Times: Can be applied for 5 to 30 minutes depending on track conditions and your desired grip levels.
Quick Identification: Easily recognizable in your crowded pit bag by the distinct red dot on the cap.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Timing is everything when applying traction compound! For medium-bite tracks, try applying SXT 3.0 Max to your tires about 10 to 15 minutes before your heat. If the track is "green" (low grip) or you are running the very first qualifier of the day, let it soak for the full 30 minutes. Always remember to thoroughly wipe your tires with a clean microfiber towel right before heading to the track—setting your car down with wet compound on the tires will just pick up dust and carpet fuzz, completely ruining your traction on the first lap!
