Precision Grip for Formula 1 RC Models

Drivers seeking tighter lines and more predictable cornering will find value in the Tamiya 50278 Sponge Tire R-J with Wheel Set. This kit is aimed at Formula 1 style RC cars where consistent traction makes a difference lap after lap.

Specifically Suited to F1 Style Cars

The wheel and sponge tyre match the mounting requirements of Formula 1 models, giving a clean fit and helping to stabilise the car through high speed turns. The sponge compound excels on polished track surfaces and indoor layouts.

Robust Build for Ongoing Use

Tamiya 50278 is constructed to endure repeated track sessions, offering dependable wear characteristics that reduce the frequency of replacements and downtime.

Can I use these on non F1 cars?

Possibly, if the other model has comparable wheel diameter and hub design. Measure the wheel bore and width to confirm compatibility before fitting.

What surfaces suit sponge tyres best?

Sponge tyres work best on smooth, clean circuits such as indoor tracks or well-surfaced asphalt. They offer mechanical grip rather than biting into loose surfaces.

How do I keep them performing?

Wipe off dust after runs, avoid petrol or harsh solvents, and store in a cool dry place. Rotate tyres if you see uneven wear to maintain consistent handling.

Do they require balancing?

Most foam tyres do not need electronic balancing; ensure the wheel is seated correctly and there are no lumps in the foam. If vibration occurs, inspect for deformities or debris.
