Raid Poker tyre 21x8

The Mitoos Raid Poker 21x8 Tyre, Firm Traction for Raid Racing

The Mitoos Raid Poker 21x8 Tyre (ref. CXM199) is a specific replacement part for slot cars aimed at competition in raid modalities. With dimensions of 21 mm in diameter and 8 mm in width, this tyre is designed to be mounted on axles where a firm footprint and consistent contact with the track are required.

Function and Performance

Tyres are one of the elements that most influence the real behaviour of a slot car. A tyre with the correct dimensions improves traction, reduces lateral slip, and contributes to more precise and predictable driving. The Poker profile from Mitoos offers a tread designed to maximise contact with the track surface in raid cars, where grip demands differ from those of conventional circuit slot cars.

Compatibility and Installation

This tyre is designed for Mitoos raid chassis that accept the reference CXM199. Before installation, it is advisable to verify that the axle diameter and the width of the drum or rim correspond to the dimensions 21x8 to ensure a proper fit without stresses that could deform the tyre or play that could cause vibrations.

• Diameter: 21 mm
• Width: 8 mm
• Reference: CXM199
• Brand: Mitoos
• Application: raid slot cars

Installation and Preparation

For optimal installation, clean the drum or rim before placing the tyre and ensure it is centred. If you are going to turn the tyre to adjust the diameter precisely, do so at low speed and gradually to avoid altering the profile or generating excessive heat that could soften the compound. A well-centred tyre with a uniform diameter around its perimeter is key to eliminating vibrations and achieving linear response in acceleration.

Common Mistakes

• Mounting the tyre on a rim of a different width than specified, causing lateral deformations and loss of grip.
• Not cleaning the rim before installation, resulting in uneven adhesion.
• Over-turning and reducing the diameter below what is necessary for the car's body height.
