F1 Rear C1 Tyre 17.3mm dwg 1405

Policar F1 Rear Tyres 17.3 mm: Performance and Consistency in Every Corner

The Policar C1 rear tyres with drawing 1405 and a diameter of 17.3 mm are specific replacement parts designed for the Italian brand's F1 cars, ensuring that track performance remains the same as on the first day. When the original rubber begins to lose shape or grip, replacing them with an identical unit is the quickest way to restore the model's response.

Function and Performance

The rear tyre is one of the elements that most influences the behaviour of a slot car. It determines traction on corner exit, stability in fast sections, and response to direction changes. The reference PPT1405C1 reproduces the exact dimensions for Policar's F1 models, with a diameter of 17.3 mm and the drawing profile 1405, specific to the brand.

• Diameter: 17.3 mm
• Position: rear
• Drawing: 1405
• Brand: Policar
• Reference: PO-PPT1405C1

Compatibility

This tyre is intended for Policar F1 cars that use the drawing 1405 on the rear axle. If you have doubts about whether it is the correct size for your specific model, consult the car manual or Policar's technical documentation. Do not assume compatibility with other models or brands without prior verification.

Installation and Preparation

Installation is straightforward: remove the worn tyre from the rim and fit the new one, ensuring it sits evenly around the entire perimeter. To fine-tune the diameter and ensure perfect concentricity, many preparers recommend running the tyre through a lathe or axle sander before putting the car back on track. This step makes a noticeable difference in high-speed stability.

Common Mistakes

• Not verifying the exact diameter before purchasing: a one-millimetre difference can completely change the car's behaviour.
• Not cleaning the rim before mounting the new tyre: remnants of old rubber or dirt hinder proper seating.
• Skipping the sanding: even new replacement tyres can benefit from light sanding to ensure concentricity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many units does this reference include?

The available information does not specify the exact number of units per bag. Please check the datasheet or contact us before placing your order if you need confirmation.

Is it compatible with all Policar F1 cars?

It is designed for Policar F1 models that use the drawing 1405 on the rear axle with a diameter of 17.3 mm. Always verify the specifications of your specific model before replacing them.

How often should tyres be changed on a slot car?

It depends on usage and the track. In club environments with long runs, rear tyres can wear out in just a few sessions. If you notice loss of traction, vibration, or the car becomes erratic in corners, it is a sign that they should be checked.

Can I use these tyres on any type of track?

Yes, as long as the car is compatible. The type of track (plastic, wood, urethane) may influence wear and the perceived level of grip, but it does not affect the validity of the tyre itself.

Is it necessary to sand them before use?

It is not strictly mandatory, but it is recommended if you are looking for maximum performance. A light sanding ensures concentricity and improves uniform contact with the track from the first lap.
