V5 Mini-Z RCP Rubber Rear Tire 15° Soft (2 pcs.)

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Ultimate Balance of Grip and Precision! When the track starts to gain "groove" or the temperature rises, you need a tire that can maintain its shape without sacrificing traction. The Marka V5 15-degree "Soft" rear tire is the perfect evolution for racers who find 10-degree tires a bit too aggressive. At Hobby Hideaway, we recommend the 15° compound for high-traction technical layouts where you want to minimize traction rolling while still enjoying explosive acceleration out of the corners.

Refined Performance for Modern Racing The V5 series from Marka Racing represents the pinnacle of Italian rubber engineering for the 1/28 scale scene. The 15-degree rating offers a slightly firmer feel than the 10°, providing a more linear slide-to-grip transition. This is particularly beneficial on tracks with high bite, as it allows the car to rotate more freely without "hooking" unexpectedly. Whether you are dialing in a high-end racing chassis or a specialized drift build, these tires deliver a professional-grade driving feel.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• V5 Pro Compound: Marka’s latest rubber technology, designed for maximum consistency and reduced "mushing" under load.

• 15° Soft Rating: Provides a slightly firmer sidewall and surface than the 10°, ideal for high-grip RCP conditions.

• 11mm Wide Profile: Standard rear width, ensuring a stable contact patch for RWD and AWD configurations.

• Next-Gen Compatible: An excellent match for the Kyosho Mini-Z MR-04, as well as the MR-03, PN 2.5W, and GL Racing platforms.

• Precision Italian Molding: Perfectly concentric for smooth, vibration-free running at high speeds.

• Consistent Life: Maintains grip levels throughout its wear cycle, ensuring your setup remains dialed from practice to the main event.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: If you're racing at our Orléans track and feel like the rear of the car is "stuck" or dragging in the turns, switching from a 10° to this 15° tire can help "free up" the car. This allows for higher mid-corner speed and more predictable handling during fast weight transfers. Always keep a set of 15s in your bag for when the track conditions reach peak grip!
