Boost Front Tyre Control with Tamiya 53318

The Tamiya 53318 RC Boy's 4WD Front Inner Sponge Set slips into the front tyres to shore up the sidewalls and sharpen steering feedback. Built for the Boy's 4WD range, these sponges help tyres keep a consistent footprint for improved traction on grass, gravel and hardpack.

Resilient Foam That Keeps Shape

Made from quality foam designed to hold its form, the Tamiya 53318 delivers steady internal support so handling does not degrade after repeated runs. Stable tyre geometry means more predictable corner entry and exit.

Handy for Setup and Repairs

Whether you are tuning for grip or swapping out worn inserts, this sponge set is straightforward to fit and adjust. The Tamiya 53318 suits modders and weekend club racers aiming for cleaner front-end response.

Internal inserts can slightly affect rolling feel but the main benefit is improved sidewall control. Any extra resistance is minimal compared with the handling gains.
No special tools are required; basic tyre levers and patience are enough. Use soapy water or tyre mounting fluid to ease the bead back on without damaging the sponge.
They are intended for standard rubber tyres used on Boy's 4WD kits. Compatibility with foam tyres is limited depending on internal dimensions.
Adjusting front insert stiffness affects front grip. Firmer support tends to reduce understeer by keeping the tyre contact patch more stable during cornering.
