Dial In Cornering with Tamiya 53744 Front Sponge Tyres

The Tamiya 53744 1/10 Scale Glow Engine R/C Front Sponge Tires provide a softer front-end feel to help with precise steering inputs. Delivered pre-mounted, they simplify upgrades for 1/10 scale models aiming for better turn-in.

Compound Performance Across Conditions

The sponge material gives a cushioned contact patch that holds traction on cooler or mixed surfaces. Its compliant nature reduces sudden breakaway and improves driver confidence through corners.

Picking the Right Hardness Number

The hardness number tells you how firm the tyre is: lower numbers equal stickier grip while higher numbers give longer wear and less compliance. Match the number to your track surface and handling goals.

Yes, the sponge compound is commonly used on asphalt and similar surfaces for improved front traction, but select hardness based on grip level at your track.
Softer front sponges tend to increase front grip and reduce understeer, so small suspension tweaks may be needed to rebalance the car.
Keep them in a cool, dark place away from solvents and ozone sources to preserve the sponge compound and prevent hardening.
