Tune Front-End Grip with Tamiya 51448 Inner Sponge

The Tamiya 51448 RC DN01 Inner Sponge is a straightforward upgrade for 2WD buggy front tires, created to produce a firmer, more consistent tyre fit. Fitted correctly, it reduces tyre deformation and helps deliver steadier steering response on mixed tracks.

Fitment and Compatible Chassis

This inner sponge suits several Tamiya platforms, including the DN-01, DT-02 and TRF201 chassis, and works with Item 51207 Off-Road Wide Grooved Front Tires (60/19). By keeping the tyre profile stable, it helps maintain traction and predictability when cornering and accelerating.

Simple Fitting Advice

When fitting the Tamiya DN01 inner sponge, press it into the tyre evenly and check the bead seating to avoid imbalance. Take your time to seat the tyre fully so you get smooth rotation and even wear during runs.

It was designed for Tamiya tyre dimensions but can suit other brands with similar internal width and diameter. Measure the tyre cavity first to confirm a snug fit.
By preserving tyre shape under load, the sponge helps the tyre maintain contact patch and steering predictability on loose dirt and gravel, which can feel like better traction.
No special tools are required; just work slowly when seating the sponge and tyre on the rim. A small tyre lever can help if the bead is tight, but hands are usually enough.
