Sanding sponges for Rodador Pro

The replacement that keeps your T800 Rodador Pro ready for preparing competition tyres

When the T800 Rodador Pro has been in use for hours, its sanding sponges lose cutting capacity and precision. These replacement sponges (reference T870047) are the specific component to restore the device's performance and continue truing tyres with the same accuracy as on the first day.

Function and performance

The mission of these sanding sponges is twofold. On one hand, they allow for a uniform and controlled reduction of the tyre's outer diameter, which lowers the car's centre of gravity and increases magnetic attraction to the track. On the other, they ensure that the tread is perfectly flat, eliminating manufacturing irregularities that reduce contact surface and, consequently, grip.

The material of the sponges absorbs pressure during the grinding process, preventing excessive heating of the tyre compound. This preserves the rubber's properties and achieves a consistent result across the entire circumference.

Compatibility and installation

This replacement is exclusive to the T800 Rodador Pro. Its installation does not require additional tools: it mounts directly onto the device's support following the same procedure as the original sponges. Once fitted, the Rodador Pro regains its usual precision.

Ideal for…

• Preparers who regularly use the Rodador Pro and need to renew worn sponges.
• Club competitors who adjust the tyre profile before each race.
• Slot workshops that work with different compounds and require a consistently clean and controlled truing process.

Points to consider

Sanding sponges are a consumable: their lifespan depends on the frequency of use and the type of compound being trued. Having replacements on hand prevents interruptions in workshop work at the least opportune moment. It is recommended to periodically check their condition and replace them as soon as the cutting loses uniformity.

Frequently asked questions

Which device are these sanding sponges compatible with?

They are a replacement designed exclusively for the T800 Rodador Pro. They are not intended for other truing devices on the market.

How do I know when it's time to change them?

When the truing stops being uniform, areas of the tyre show different levels of truing, or the process takes longer than usual, it is a sign that the sponges are worn out and should be replaced.

Does the type of tyre compound affect the durability of the sponges?

Yes. Softer and stickier compounds tend to clog the abrasive surface more quickly. With low hardness competition rubbers, it may be necessary to change them more frequently.

Can I use these sponges to true tyres of any scale?

Their use is linked to the capability of the T800 Rodador Pro. Within the scales compatible with that device, the sanding sponges work in the same way.
