V5 Mini-Z RCP Rubber Rear Tire 10° Soft (2 pcs.)

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Gold Standard for RCP Rear Traction! In the world of competitive 1/28 scale racing, the Marka V5 series is widely considered one of the top rubber tire options available. The 10-degree "Soft" compound strikes a perfect balance between massive forward bite and long-term durability. At Hobby Hideaway, we recommend the V5 10° as the reliable choice for most RCP track conditions. Whether you’re running a standard build or a fully modified MR-04, these tires provide the consistent grip needed to put the power down out of every corner.

Advanced Italian Rubber Technology Marka Racing has refined the V5 compound to offer a more stable carcass and improved surface tackiness compared to previous generations. The 10-degree rating is soft enough to provide instant grip without the excessive "mushing" that can occur with ultra-soft tires in high-heat or high-traction scenarios. This results in a tire that stays predictable throughout a full 5-minute main, allowing you to maintain your racing line lap after lap.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• V5 Pro Compound: Marka’s latest rubber formulation for superior traction and consistent performance on RCP tracks.

• 10° Soft Rating: The ideal all-around rear compound for a wide range of track temperatures and grip levels.

• 11mm Wide Profile: Fits the rear wheels of RWD and AWD vehicles, providing a large contact patch for stability.

• Next-Gen Performance: Works exceptionally well with Reflex Racing builds, RC28 models  and the Kyosho Mini-Z MR-04. Also compatible with similar high-end platforms like MWX and Atomic chassis, as well as the MR-03, PN 2.5W, and GL Racing platforms..

• High-Precision Molding: Ensures a perfectly round tire with minimal vibration at high RPMs.

• Stable Side-Bite: Designed to offer a linear feel when cornering, reducing the risk of snap-oversteer.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: To get the most out of your Marka V5 tires, we recommend cleaning them with a simple lint roller or a dampened microfibre cloth between rounds. This removes RCP dust and restores the natural tackiness of the rubber. If you’re racing on a very high-grip surface and find the car is "tipping" or traction rolling, try moving to a slightly harder V5 15° or 20° tire to allow for a small amount of predictable side-slip.
