Track-Focused Sponge Tire Upgrade for 1/10 RC

For RC racers after steady lap times and predictable handling, Tamiya's 53743 1/10 Scale Glow Engine R/C Front Sponge Tires provide dependable grip on paved and carpet circuits. The compound is tuned to perform across a range of temperatures, and the tires come pre-mounted on wheels so you can install them quickly and get back to running.

Decoding Sponge Tire Hardness

Tamiya marks sponge hardness with a numeric scale. Higher numbers mean a firmer compound that lasts longer on smooth tracks, while lower numbers give a softer sponge that increases traction on technical layouts. Picking the right hardness helps you balance durability and cornering bite for your driving style.

These front sponge tires use standard 1/10 mounting and will fit most touring and glow engine fronts, but check wheel offset and hex size for exact fitment.
For carpet, start with a mid to soft sponge to increase mechanical grip; monitor wear and step up hardness if the compound breaks down too fast.
Keep them clean of debris, avoid prolonged sun exposure, and store on rims to keep shape. Light cleaning with soapy water restores tack without damaging the sponge.
