High-grip front slick for 18T steering setup

This RC-scale front tyre is a standard rubber slick made for the Associated RC 18T touring platform, supplied with an internal insert set at a 40 degree angle to shape a consistent contact patch. It is aimed at front-end tuning to sharpen steering response and keep linear feedback predictable.

Fitting is straightforward on standard 18T wheels: remove the wheel from the hub, place the insert inside the tyre with the 40 degree orientation matching the rim profile, then seat the bead evenly before refitting. Use common RC tyre mounting methods for glue or retention and verify bead seating prior to final wheel balancing.

From a setup perspective this tyre is intended to refine front traction and steering precision on paved, high-grip surfaces during practice or race runs. Swapping front profiles and insert angles lets you bias understeer or oversteer without altering suspension geometry.

Can these fit standard 18T front rims?

These tyres are specified for Associated RC 18T front fitment and are designed to mount on standard 18T front rims when fitted correctly.

Is the 40 degree insert included and how should it be oriented?

The tyre ships with the internal insert; position the insert so the 40 degree face lines up with the rim profile to control the contact patch and front-end consistency.

Any quick maintenance tips?

Check bead seating and insert alignment after mounting, clear debris from the tread after running, and replace the tyre once wear affects handling repeatability.
