Raid X-Control Tyres: New Tread Design for Mud and Dust
The reference CXM018 includes a set of 4 Raid tyres in size 26x10, designed under the X-Control concept. Its main novelty is the tread pattern, specially conceived to perform on dirty surfaces where traction and dirt evacuation make a difference.
Main Features
- Size: 26x10
- Units: 4 tyres per pack
- Line: X-Control
- Tread: new design optimised for dirty use
Function and Performance
The X-Control tread is not merely an aesthetic element: the geometry of the lugs and channels is designed to bite into the uneven surface, reduce lateral slip, and maintain predictable response even when the terrain becomes challenging. In competition on unprepared surfaces, this type of tyre makes the difference between finishing the heat with pace or losing valuable tenths in each muddy section.
Mounting and Preparation
Before mounting, it is advisable to ensure that the rims are perfectly clean and free of grease or remnants of previous glue. Proper centring of the tyre on the rim guarantees that the tread works uniformly around the circumference. If gluing, apply the adhesive sparingly and allow it to cure for the recommended time before the first session.
Ideal for…
This set of four tyres is aimed at drivers who compete or practice on circuits or terrains with dirt, dust, or fine gravel, where a slick tyre would quickly lose grip. It is also a good option for those who want to have a spare set ready to change in the pits without wasting time.
Considerations
As this is a specific tyre for dirty conditions, its optimal performance occurs on the type of surface for which it has been designed. On very clean or smooth tracks, other profiles may offer better times. Check your championship regulations before choosing tyres to ensure that the reference is homologated.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many tyres are included in the pack?
The CXM018 pack includes 4 Raid X-Control tyres in size 26x10.
What type of surface is this tyre designed for?
The X-Control design is optimised for dirty use: surfaces with mud, dust, or gravel where greater grip and dirt evacuation are needed.
Is it necessary to glue the tyres to the rims?
It depends on the application and the championship regulations. In competition, it is usually recommended to secure the tyres to prevent movement, but for recreational use, it may not be necessary.
What size are these tyres?
The size is 26x10, suitable for rims compatible with this diameter and width.
Are they valid for any slot or RC championship?
Always check the specific regulations of your championship before using them in official competition, as each organisation may have its own restrictions on homologated tyres.
