Fine-Tune F104 Handling with Tamiya 54199 Soft Rear Tires

For RC racers aiming to get the best results in lower track temperatures, the Tamiya 54199 Soft Rear Rubber Tires add reliable grip and sharper steering response to F104 cars. These tyres are targeted at drivers who need consistent traction when the surface is cool.

Why Tamiya 54199 Works on Cooler Tracks

  • Soft Compound: Formulated to maintain traction in chillier conditions for more predictable cornering.
  • Compatibility: Made to fit the Tamiya 51398 F104 Mesh Wheel Set for Rubber Tires without modification.
  • Dimensions: Rear tyre size is 35mm wide with a 64mm diameter.

Recommended Setup for F104 Chassis Balance

Pairing Tamiya 54199 rear tyres with the stock front tyres (item 51399) shifts handling toward increased steering input and a slight oversteer tendency. That balance helps drivers tune entry grip on cold surfaces where rubber traction is reduced.

I have been very very pleased with my purchase of an extensive package of a Tamiya 1:14 Truck and Trailer, and many extra needed products to go with it. RCJaz had all the products I needed, yes it is easier buying from just one seller. And their prices

Tamiya 56535 - Trop.35 Aluminum Coupler Lever Plate for Tractor Truck. Good service, Fast shipping, and you had the part
Yes. The softer compound is chosen to increase contact grip at lower track temperatures, which helps reduce understeer and gives more predictable turn-in.
These tyres are intended for rubber mesh wheels such as the Tamiya 51398 set. Mounting on non-rubber wheel types may require adapters and can affect performance.
Warm the tyres gently before practice with a short run or controlled heater, and check pressures and fit on the 51398 wheels. Light cleaning of the contact surface improves bite on cold layouts.
