Better traction for Mini Cooper M-Chassis setups

Install the Tamiya 53204 M-Chassis Sponge Inserts in a Tamiya Mini Cooper or compatible HPI mini super radials to improve tyre contact and cornering consistency. The sponge core smooths small irregularities and helps the tyre hold line through tighter turns, making it useful for both club meets and casual practice sessions.

Main benefits of the Tamiya 53204 sponge cores

Compatibility: Specifically sized for Tamiya Mini Cooper wheels and also fits many HPI mini super radials with matching inner dimensions.
Material: Resilient sponge that balances durability with a responsive feel on corner exit.
Functionality: Increases grip and lateral stability so drivers can place the car more accurately.
Quantity: Comes with four inserts to equip all wheels on one model.

Do these fit standard M-Chassis wheels or only Mini Cooper rims?

They are cut for the Mini Cooper wheel profile but will fit other M-Chassis wheels that share the same internal diameter and rim width.

How do they affect tyre wear and maintenance?

Properly fitted inserts can reduce uneven wear by supporting the tyre carcass, though regular inspection is still recommended after intense track sessions.

Are any special tools needed to install them?

Installation is straightforward with common tyre tools or by hand; ensure the sponge sits flush inside the tyre before remounting on the rim.
