This HUDY 812102-M carpet insert is an RC tyre internal part for 1/10 off-road 2WD front tyres and is supplied as two pieces. The item is the carpet-specific inner element labelled "102 - Medium" and is intended to modify tyre contact behavior on carpeted layouts.
It fits 1/10 scale 2WD front tyre assemblies that require a carpet insert. The component changes carcass support and the local contact patch stiffness so steering bite and initial turn-in are affected while the outer tread remains unchanged.
To fit: remove the tyre from the rim, position the insert against the bead line inside the tyre, remount and inspect for uniform seating. Slight trimming or repositioning may be required to ensure the insert is concentric and does not pull the bead out of shape.
Setup use: the medium carpet compound aims to provide a compromise between grip and predictable handling, useful when testing steering characteristics on carpet. Swap inserts of different compounds and alter toe or camber step by step to refine handling balance.
