Fitting sponge tires to F104 wheels can be fiddly, but Tamiya's 54481 Sponge Tire Attach Cone removes much of the hassle. Made for the F104 chassis, the cone helps you get tyres seated smoothly and faster than by hand.
The aluminium cone is anodized in Tamiya blue and is shaped to let sponge tires slide on with minimal fuss. Using the cone reduces handling and speeds up tyre changes between practice runs and mains.
If you use tyre tape, the cone works well with a standard tape-and-spray routine: stick the tape, add a little motor spray, then slide the sponge tyre on the wheel with the cone for a tidy result.
