Four Squared CXM005 Tyres: Micro-stud for Dirt and Snow in Slot
When the track stops being asphalt and loose dirt or compacted snow appears, the tyre makes the difference between controlling the car and losing it in every corner. The Squared CXM005 tyres are specifically designed for these surfaces: their micro-stud pattern grips where a slick has no chance.
Main Features
- Micro-stud pattern: designed for traction on loose dirt and snow, two of the slipperiest surfaces in the world of off-road slot racing.
- Set of 4 units: the complete pack to equip the vehicle from start to finish without the need to combine references.
- Reference CXM005: clear identification for exact replenishment when the time comes to renew them.
Recommended Applications
These tyres are the natural choice for slot builds aimed at competition or recreation on unpaved surfaces. If you are preparing a car for a dirt race at the club, or simply want to explore the wilder side of the hobby with a dirt track at home, the CXM005 is the right starting point.
Mounting and Preparation
As with any micro-stud tyre, it is advisable to check that the outer diameter and width are compatible with your car's wheels before mounting. A snug fit to the wheel avoids vibrations and ensures that the studs work evenly across the contact patch. If you are going to compete, equalise the four tyres in diameter with a bit of fine sandpaper before the race to ensure consistent traction across both axles.
Considerations
- The micro-stud is not intended for asphalt tracks: on a smooth surface, performance will be inferior to that of a slick or semi-slick tyre.
- Always check the compatibility of measurements with your chassis and wheels before mounting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of track are these tyres designed for?
For loose dirt or snow tracks. Their micro-stud pattern provides grip on surfaces with low friction coefficients, where a slick tyre loses effectiveness.
Can I use them on asphalt tracks as well?
That is not their optimal use. On asphalt, the micro-stud reduces the contact surface and performance drops significantly compared to a slick. They are designed exclusively for loose surfaces.
How many units does the pack include?
The pack includes 4 tyres, enough to equip a complete vehicle, both front and rear axles.
How do I know if they are compatible with my car?
Check the inner diameter (which must match your wheels) and the width. If you do not have the data at hand, contact us with your car's reference and we will help you confirm it.
Do I need to balance them before the race?
For recreational use, it is not strictly necessary, but if you are going to compete, equalising the diameter of the four tyres with fine sandpaper improves stability and avoids traction imbalances between axles.
