Grip and Longevity for RC Tyres

The Tamiya 53417 Rubber Tire Application Primer helps improve the bond between rubber tyres and the road, extending tyre life for RC cars and buggies. It is a practical choice when you want steadier grip during races or weekend running.

Why Hobbyists Use This Primer

This primer enhances surface contact and traction, which can be especially useful on smoother track surfaces or when heading out on rougher terrain. The formula is user friendly, so both newcomers and seasoned builders can apply it with confidence.

Prep and Application Advice

Ensure tyres are free of contaminants before application and allow the primer to dry completely to lock in adhesion. Applying it regularly as part of maintenance helps delay wear and keeps handling consistent.

Is Tamiya 53417 suitable for foam‑backed tyres?

It is generally compatible with standard rubber tyres; check the tyre construction and perform a small test if you use specialised foam inserts or bonded assemblies.

Can I apply it at the track between sessions?

Yes, for quick mid-day touch ups it can be used at the track, but allow enough drying time before running to ensure effective bonding.

Will it change tyre balance or feel?

When applied evenly and allowed to dry, the primer should not noticeably affect balance, but uneven coats can alter handling slightly.

Any storage tips for the primer?

Store in a cool, dry place and keep the cap sealed to maintain product performance. Follow any label guidance for shelf life.
