Rear narrow radial tyre for RC18T applications

This matched pair is an RC-scale replacement developed for the Associated RC18T rear axle, each tyre supplied with a 30g insert. The narrow radial rubber profile is intended for precise rear traction tuning and consistent handling on 1/18 short-course platforms.

Installation guidance:

  • Verify rim compatibility with Associated RC18T rear wheels before mounting to ensure correct bead seating.
  • Insert the 30g core centrally in the tyre before seating on the rim to reduce runout and provide consistent balance.
  • After seating, spin the wheel to confirm even rotation and trim any excess bead material for clearance as required.

Tuning notes:

  • The calibrated 30g insert increases rear mass and improves mid-speed traction stability compared with running without an insert.
  • The narrow radial section sharpens turn-in predictability and is useful when a more responsive rear feel is required.
  • Adjust setups incrementally and change only one variable at a time to isolate handling effects.

Inspection and service:

  • Inspect tread and sidewalls routinely for cuts or deformation prior to each session.
  • Clean tyres after each run and allow them to cool before storage to preserve compound and shape.
  • Replace inserts that exhibit uneven compression or structural damage to maintain consistent performance.
They are produced for RC18T rear use; confirm rim width and bead seat compatibility before final fitment to ensure optimal seating.
The insert adds rear stability and moderates traction delivery, yielding a more consistent rear-end behaviour during cornering transitions.
Visually inspect for cuts, splits and compression; test for even rebound and replace inserts that fail to return to shape or that show uneven wear.
