Function and Performance
The name Zero Grip describes the orientation of this tyre: a rubber with a very low coefficient of grip, intended for those seeking a more neutral or sliding behaviour on track. This type of tyre is particularly useful in certain setup configurations, chassis adjustment tests, or in classes where the regulations limit or specify the use of low-grip rubber.
Compatibility
- Designed for a front rim of 14mm.
- Compatible with the Formula 90-97 standard models from Scaleauto.
- Tyre dimensions: 18x10mm.
Installation and Preparation
The installation does not require special tools: the tyre fits onto the 14mm rim with the usual pressure. For optimal results, it is advisable to check the concentricity once mounted and, if desired, perform a light sanding with fine sandpaper to equalise the profile before the first track session. As this is a Zero Grip rubber, there is no need to apply any type of adhesive liquid.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Zero Grip" mean exactly for this tyre?
It indicates that the rubber has very low grip by design, unlike soft silicone tyres or sticky rubber tyres. It is used when there is a need to reduce grip on the front axle or when class regulations require it.
Is it compatible with other Scaleauto Formula models other than 90-97?
The technical sheet from Scaleauto specifies its use for the Formula 90-97 standard with a 14mm rim. For other Formula models from the brand, it is advisable to check the diameter and width of the rim before use.
Is it sold individually or in packs?
The sales format corresponds to the unit as described in reference SC-4762. Please check the purchase sheet to confirm the exact contents of the packaging.
Do I need to glue the tyre to the rim?
It depends on the fit between the rim and the tyre. If there is play, a small amount of specific slot tyre glue can be applied. If the fit is tight, it is usually not necessary.
