Improved Grip for Tamiya 51385 F104 Rear Sponge Tires

Tamiya 51385 F104 Rear Sponge Tires are made to increase grip and steering precision on RC Formula 1 cars. The tyres use a 44mm inner diameter and measure 35mm across, matching standard F104 wheel mounting. Their softer composition gives more traction than harder items like Option Parts Item 54168, making them a strong choice for club racing and technical layouts.

Will these fit standard F104 hubs?

Yes. The 44mm inner diameter and 35mm width are sized for standard Tamiya F104 wheel hubs, but always check your wheel offset and hex size before fitting.

How should I mount and secure the sponges?

Mount on compatible F104 rims and use a thin bead of tyre glue or double-sided foam tape to lock the sponge to the wheel. Clean rims and tyre sockets to ensure a reliable bond.

What surfaces work best for these tires?

These sponge tyres perform best on smooth tarmac and indoor circuits. The softer material gives extra traction but will wear faster on rough or abrasive surfaces.
