Tamiya M03 Mini Tyres
I struggled with tyres last night on my Tamiya M03 Mini, I was using S-grips on the front and M-grips on the back. Both were very well worn, and had been repeatedly glued, so the sidewalls were pretty coated in superglue.
Supergluing the sidewalls is a great technique to reduce the bite of a tyres, but when they start wearing, you don’t get enough grip from them at all!
I then tried a new set of Express tyres on the front, and they were TOO grippy, loads of turn in sure, but also grip roll, which isn’t really necessary.
I think it’s time for some new Tamiya Tyres… I’ll get a couple of pairs of each, and play around. The common forumala for indoors is M grips on the rear, and either ‘kits’ or S-grip on the front. Though, getting S-grips to work can be problematic – they can be too grippy. Hard foam inserts are fine, especially on the front. And perhaps they’ll make the M’s on the back wear more evenly?
Here’s the part numbers etc.

50683 M-CHASSIS 60D RADIAL TIRES(1 PAIR) **’kits’

hi, a quick word on getting even tyre wear at the rear is to use the M05RA rear uprights (parts tree number ;51425) set with the lower arm at the bottom hole on the upright and the stock kit supplied upper arm set to the upper hole at the top of the upright, this effects far more camber change as the car rolls which will give you more even tyre wear , i have found that it can give more rear grip than adding toe in rear uprights with adjustable upper arms ever could ,
hope you grab every apex.
