The Kyosho MBT001S set provides two soft OPTIMA tyres tailored for Mini-Z buggies built on the MB-010 platform, featuring a foam-backed rubber profile. The softer compound enhances the contact patch to improve traction and feedback without changing wheel fitment.
Fitting is simple on compatible Mini-Z rims: press the tyre onto the rim, make sure the bead sits evenly, and centre the foam insert before final wheel fastening. Proper seating and periodic balance checks reduce hop and uneven wear on short, technical circuits.
These tyres trade durability for grip: expect quicker wear and slightly higher rolling resistance compared with harder compounds. Use them when maximum corner traction on indoor carpet or tight asphalt layouts matters, and alternate to harder tyres during extended practice to protect runtime.
Care tips: examine foam inserts for compression or breakdown after repeated runs, swap tyre positions to even out wear, and keep the hub and hex mating surfaces free of grime to avoid false handling symptoms.
A dedicated soft-tyre option for MB-010 Mini-Z buggy setups, the pair is aimed at racers seeking stronger low-speed grip on compact tracks.
