Rubber tyre 22x10mm raid

Scaleauto rubber tyre 22x10 mm for raid: the foundation on which your project rolls

In the world of slot racing, tyres are one of the elements that most influence a car's behaviour. A tyre with the wrong size or inappropriate hardness results in loss of traction, imbalances between axles, and irregular lap times. Scaleauto knows this well, which is why it offers a range of tyres technically adjusted for each application. These 22x10 mm from reference SC-4750 are designed for raid setups, a format that demands stability and good contact with the track at all times.

Function and features

The SC-4750 tyre has the following characteristics according to Scaleauto's official reference:

• Material: rubber
• Size: 22 mm diameter × 10 mm width
• Application: raid slot
• Brand: Scaleauto

The raid format in slot racing typically requires tyres with a wider profile than those used in circuit racing, as the goal is to distribute the load well and maintain stability in setups with greater wheelbases or bulkier bodies. The 10 mm width of this tyre precisely addresses that need.

Compatibility and installation

Before installing these tyres, check the diameter of your car's rims or wheels. The outer measurement of 22 mm is the starting point, but the correct fit depends on the inner diameter of the tyre relative to the rim. Scaleauto manufactures its tyres with tight tolerances, so they typically fit precisely on their own raid rims.

If you mount these tyres on a SPORT track chassis (compatible with Scaleauto or Slot.it tracks), ensure that the wheel-tyre assembly does not rub against the body or chassis. Any slight rubbing can penalise top speed and motor consumption.

Preparation and tuning

To get the most out of new rubber tyres, it is advisable to true them before first use. Using a lathe or tyre truer, any small eccentricity from the mould is eliminated, ensuring that all four contact points with the track are perfectly uniform. In raid applications, where cars run at more moderate speeds than in pure competition circuits, this step remains relevant for achieving clean, vibration-free driving.

Once trued, a light traction treatment (silicone oil or other specific rubber products) can adjust the grip level according to the type of track and the day's conditions.

Who is this tyre for?

This tyre is aimed at:

• Enthusiasts building or preparing raid slot cars, whether for club competition or recreational enjoyment.
• Preparers needing to replace the original tyres of a Scaleauto raid setup.
• Any enthusiast looking for a 22x10 mm rubber tyre compatible with their rims.

Frequently asked questions

How many tyres does reference SC-4750 include?

The provided information does not specify the number of units per pack. We recommend checking the product description on the website or contacting our team to confirm before placing your order.

Are these tyres soft or hard rubber?

Scaleauto does not specify the hardness grade for this reference. If in doubt, the Ministry of Hobby team can guide you on the approximate hardness and its behaviour on track.

Are they compatible with rims from other brands?

It depends on the inner diameter of the tyre and the outer diameter of the rim. If you are working with rims from other brands with compatible standard measurements, they are likely to work, but it is safest to combine them with official Scaleauto rims for raid.

Do I need to true them before use?

It is not strictly mandatory, but highly recommended if you seek the best performance. Truing the tyre eliminates eccentricities and significantly improves stability and handling.

Can I use these tyres on SPORT and UNIVERSAL track circuits?

The tyre itself is not conditioned by the type of track, but by the rim it is mounted on. If the wheel-tyre assembly is compatible with your chassis, it will work on any type of track.
