Chapo Grooved Truck Raid Tyre 26x10 2 Units

The PKS Chapo Grooved Tyre 26x10: designed to win on the slot raid sands

When the track is filled with flour or gofio, the choice of tyre makes the difference between maintaining control and losing everything in a corner. The PKS-T26RCH model from PKS meets that need exactly: a raid tyre in size 26x10 with the characteristic Chapo Grooved pattern, designed for slot trucks that require a firm footprint and consistent grip on the most treacherous surfaces.

Tyre Features

• Size: 26x10 mm, high profile ideal for slot raid trucks.
• Chapo Grooved Design: pattern of strategic cuts that efficiently evacuate loose material — flour, gofio — reducing sliding and improving traction.
• Set of 2 units: complete set to equip one axle or prepare a competition reserve.
• Manufacturer: PKS, a brand specialised in tyres and consumables for rally and raid slot.

The Chapo Design: what it brings to the track

The Chapo grooving is not decorative. Each cut is oriented to channel the particulate material that accumulates on raid tracks — especially in dune sections and dusty areas — to the outside of the contact patch. The result is an active grip surface that remains clean and functional throughout the entire run, without the progressive performance loss that smooth tyres experience when the circuit becomes laden with debris.

The 26x10 profile provides a wide footprint that stabilises the truck during sharp directional changes typical of raid stages, where the trajectory is rarely smooth or predictable.

Applications and Compatibility

This tyre is aimed at slot trucks used in raid competition. Before mounting, check that the diameter and width are compatible with your vehicle's hubs and rims. PKS offers these tyres unmounted, allowing the driver or preparer to adjust the adhesion and balancing according to their tuning preferences.

Mounting and Preparation

• Check the concentricity of the tyre on the hub before permanently securing it.
• Use a specific rubber-metal adhesive in small amounts to avoid imbalances.
• If the track allows, a light turning with a slot lathe can optimise the diameter and improve contact with the surface.
• Clean the tread before each session to remove debris that may reduce initial grip.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many units are included in the pack?

The pack contains 2 units of the PKS Chapo Grooved tyre 26x10, reference PKS-T26RCH.

What type of tracks is this tyre suitable for?

It is specifically designed for raid tracks with flour or gofio, where the evacuation of loose material is critical for maintaining grip. It is not intended for use on asphalt tracks or conventional rally circuits.

Is it compatible with any raid slot truck?

Compatibility depends on the hub diameter and the available space in the rear or front axle of your truck. Check the 26x10 mm measurements against your vehicle's specifications before purchasing.

Can I turn these tyres?

Yes. Like any rubber slot tyre, they can be turned to adjust the diameter and improve concentricity. It is recommended to do this mounted on the final hub and at low speed to avoid damaging the Chapo grooving.

Does the Chapo grooving affect tyre wear?

The cut design distributes the load more evenly, which in flour or gofio conditions can extend the lifespan compared to a smooth tyre subjected to the same material. On clean tracks, wear will mainly depend on the compound and the vehicle's tuning.
