Tighter handling for Mini Cooper M-Chassis

Fit the Tamiya 53204 M-Chassis Sponge Inserts to a Tamiya Mini Cooper or compatible HPI mini super radials to sharpen steering feel and increase traction. The sponge construction helps the tyre maintain a steady contact patch, reducing twitchiness and improving control across different hobby surfaces. Ideal for club racing or precise backyard runs.

Performance highlights of the Tamiya 53204 inserts

Compatibility: Made for Tamiya Mini Cooper wheels and works with many HPI mini super radials that share the same internal diameter.
Material: Durable sponge compound chosen to resist compression while keeping responsive feedback.
Functionality: Enhances tyre grip and lateral stability to aid precise cornering.
Quantity: Supplied as a set of 4 sponge wheel inserts to outfit a single car.

Will these inserts change ride height or wheel balance?

They are thin foam inserts so ride height change is minimal; you may notice a small difference in balance that usually improves handling rather than causing vibration.

Which surfaces benefit most from the sponge inserts?

Carpet and smooth asphalt tracks typically show the biggest grip gains, though they can also tame small bumps on concrete or tarmac.

Can I reuse these inserts after tyre changes?

You can reuse them if they remain intact and retain shape, but inspect for compression or tears and replace when performance drops.
