Tamiya 53230 Hard Wide Inserts for Sharper Tire Response

For RC enthusiasts aiming to sharpen handling, the Tamiya 53230 Wide Inner Sponge Set (Hard) is a practical upgrade. Made for RC car tires, these hard sponges add stability and help maintain consistent tyre shape at speed. They suit both weekend practice sessions and competitive track use.

Advantages of the Hard Wide Sponge Inserts

Small setup changes matter on the track. The hard sponge inserts reduce tyre squirm and improve steering predictability by stiffening the tyre carcass. That improved rigidity helps control tire deformation during fast cornering and keeps lap times predictable. The wide profile also helps them sit correctly in a variety of tyre widths.

Maintenance Uses and Longevity

Fitting the Tamiya 53230 sponges can cut uneven wear by spreading load more evenly across the tyre, which helps tyres last longer under regular racing loads. They are a straightforward maintenance item to swap when refreshing tyres, and they pair well with routine checks to keep your setup consistent.

They are designed to fit a wide selection of on-road RC tyres, especially those that accept wider inserts; check tyre internal width to confirm a good fit.
No special tools are required; remove the tyre from the rim, seat the sponge inside, then refit the tyre ensuring a snug, even positioning. Trimming can be done with a hobby knife if necessary.
A harder insert increases tyre stiffness which improves high speed stability and steering precision, though it can feel less forgiving on very rough or loose surfaces.
