Gold Finish Tarmac Wheels for TGM-02 Chassis

The Tamiya 53541 Tarmac Tire & Wheel Set is a direct replacement pack for hobbyists running the TGM-02 chassis. It is aimed at improving handling on hard surfaces through rugged construction and a distinctive gold-plated look.

Primary Features of the Tarmac Set

Compatibility: Built for Tamiya TGM-02 chassis variants including Terra Crusher and Wild Commando.
Pre-Assembled Convenience: Wheels arrive pre-assembled with the tyres bonded to the rims to speed up fitment.
Gold-Plated Finish: A tough gold plating gives a clean appearance, with the plating removed in the cementing area to allow secure gluing.
Rib Reinforcement: Ribbed sidewall reinforcement improves toughness and helps the tyre keep its shape under load.

Specifications

Scale: 1:8
Overall Diameter: 139mm
Inner Wheel Diameter: 74mm
Overall Width: 82mm
Hex Hub: 12mm

A practical upgrade for TGM-02 owners who want a blend of style and reliable hard-surface performance without extra assembly time.

Are these tyres suitable for light gravel or rough pavement?

They are optimised for tarmac but the rib reinforcement makes them resilient enough for light rough surfaces and rough pavement sections. Expect better life on hard ground than on loose dirt.

What adhesive should I use when fitting the tyres?

Use a dedicated tyre cement for secure bonding; the original kit references cement TAMR5339, and the plating is removed where glue is required to ensure a strong bond.

Will these wheels fit standard TGM-02 hubs?

Yes, the wheels use a 12mm hex hub which matches the TGM-02 specification, but always check hub width and wheel offset on your specific model before final fitment.
