Rain-0 tyres

When the track gets "wet" without a single drop of water

The Rain-0 tyres with reference CXM043 are the simplest and most enjoyable way to introduce wet conditions into your slot sessions without altering the track grip. Just swap them onto your car and the driving experience transforms completely: less grip, more oversteer, and those long, controlled drifts that experienced drivers love — and that leave newcomers baffled in the wet.

Main features

• Wet simulation without modifying the track: all the variation in behaviour comes from the tyre, so the rest of the field can continue racing on dry if they prefer.
• Sliding and spectacular behaviour: they drastically reduce grip, encouraging wide drifts and a demanding driving style that tests any driver's skill.
• Rim compatibility: designed for rims of 15 mm or smaller.
• Reference: CXM043.

Track behaviour

With the Rain-0 fitted, the car loses the grip you are used to and requires smooth, anticipatory driving. Braking must be more progressive, corner exits more delicate, and throttle management becomes the key factor. It is, ultimately, a compressed driving school in simple wheels.

This type of tyre is particularly striking on plastic tracks or very fast surfaces, where the reduction in grip causes more pronounced effects and the drifts are more spectacular and prolonged.

Ideal for…

• Clubs looking to organise rain heats without additional infrastructure.
• Drivers seeking to improve their driving technique in adverse conditions.
• Hobby afternoons at home where challenge and fun are the priority.
• Mixed competitions where dry and wet conditions coexist in the same session.

Considerations

Check before fitting that your rim diameter is 15 mm or smaller to ensure a proper fit. As this is a tyre designed for sliding, it is recommended to start with moderate power until you become familiar with the car's new balance point.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to modify the track to use them?

No. The Rain-0 works on the track as it is; all the reduction in grip comes from the tyre itself. There is no need to wet the surface or apply any product.

Are they compatible with any slot car?

They are compatible with cars that have a rear rim diameter of 15 mm or smaller. Check your rim size before fitting them.

Can I combine Rain-0 on the rear axle with normal tyres on the front?

Technically it is possible, although the resulting behaviour may be very different from an all-rain setup. We recommend trying first with all four Rain-0 tyres to fully understand the car's dynamics before experimenting with mixed configurations.

Can they be used in club competitions?

Yes, in fact, they are a very popular option for organising rain heats in clubs. It is common for the heat regulations to specify whether all drivers must use the same type of tyre to ensure equal conditions.

How long do these types of tyres last?

As they are designed for sliding, the wear is different from that of a conventional grip tyre. The lifespan depends on the type of track and usage, but generally, they maintain their properties for a good number of sessions.

The Rain-0 tyres (ref. CXM043) are the perfect choice for slot car enthusiasts looking to recreate wet-weather racing conditions without altering the track surface. Designed for rims of 15 mm or smaller, they deliver dramatic slides, oversteer, and a genuine driving challenge that tests car control to the limit. A must-try for club race nights and home hobby sessions alike.
