Low Sprint Tyres x4

Low Profile Tyres for Slot: Less Height, More Control on Track

The Low Sprint Tyres x4 from Mustang Slot (reference M-N003) consist of a pack of 4 low profile units designed for the preparation of competition slot cars. The reduced profile lowers the centre of gravity of the wheel-tyre assembly, which directly translates into greater stability in corners and a more predictable response during direction changes.

Function and Performance

The low profile is a common choice among club tuners looking to fine-tune the geometry of the rear end without resorting to more invasive modifications. By reducing the overall height of the wheel, the following is achieved:

• Lower centre of gravity, resulting in increased cornering stability.
• Reduction of rotational inertia, which enhances acceleration response.
• A uniform starting point across all four tyres in the pack, facilitating car balancing.

Compatibility and Fitting

These tyres are manufactured under the Mustang Slot brand, a specialist in spare parts and accessories for slot car preparation. To confirm exact compatibility with your rim or chassis, consult reference M-N003 and compare it with the inner and outer diameter of your wheel. As with any competition tyre, it is recommended to fit them onto clean rims free of glue or grease residues to ensure proper adhesion.

Fitting and Preparation

• Clean the rims with isopropyl alcohol before fitting to remove any residue.
• If using adhesive, apply a minimal and centred amount to avoid unbalancing the wheel.
• Once fitted, turn the tyres on a track lathe or with appropriate tools to achieve a perfectly circular and uniform diameter across all four.
• Apply your usual grip treatment only after turning.

Ideal for…

Tuners and club competitors looking for a low profile tyre to adjust body height, improve stability, and gain those tenths that make a difference in a close championship. They are also a good option for enthusiasts wanting to experiment with the setup of their cars without a high investment.

Points to Consider

As these are low profile tyres, the final diameter of the fitted wheel will be lower than that of a standard tyre. Always check that the resulting height is compatible with your body and does not cause unwanted rubbing. The pack includes 4 units.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "low profile" mean in a slot tyre?

It refers to the lower height of the tyre section relative to the rim diameter. The result is a fitted wheel with a smaller overall diameter, which lowers the car's centre of gravity and improves its behaviour in corners.

Does the pack include 4 tyres to equip a complete car?

Yes, the M-N003 pack includes 4 units, sufficient to equip all four wheels of a slot car.

Do I need to turn these tyres before using them on track?

It is highly recommended, especially in competition. Turning ensures that all four tyres have exactly the same diameter and are perfectly concentric with the rim, eliminating vibrations and improving grip.

What glue is used to mount these tyres?

It depends on the material of the tyre and the rim. Typically, cyanoacrylate is used in small amounts or simply the tension of the tyre is relied upon if the fit is correct. Check Mustang Slot's recommendations for this specific reference.

Are they compatible with rims from other brands?

Compatibility depends on the inner diameter of the tyre and the outer diameter of the rim. Always verify the measurements before fitting to ensure the fit is correct.
