Rubber tyres 24x9.5mm raid

Scaleauto rubber tyres 24x9.5 mm for raid: the contact with the track starts here

In slot racing, the tyre is the only point of contact between the car and the track. Choosing the right size and compound can make the difference between a car that skids in every corner and one that exits cleanly and confidently. The SC-4751 tyres from Scaleauto are made of rubber with dimensions of 24x9.5 mm, specifically designed for raid-type mounts.

Function and performance

The raid format in slot racing replicates the aesthetics and spirit of competition cars on dirt or asphalt with taller bodies and generous wheelbases. For this type of vehicle, the correct choice of tyre —both in diameter and width— is essential to ensure stable and predictable handling.

• Diameter: 24 mm, suitable for rear axles of raid mounts in scale.
• Width: 9.5 mm, providing a balanced footprint without compromising clearance in tight bodies.
• Material: rubber, with the necessary flexibility to absorb small track irregularities and maintain grip in corners.

Compatibility and mounting

These tyres are designed to fit the raid rims of Scaleauto compatible with reference SC-4751. Before mounting, it is advisable to check that the inner diameter of the tyre fits correctly onto the chosen rim to avoid play or unnecessary tension.

If you are looking for a more precise track finish, you can true the tyre on a lathe until you achieve the exact diameter required for your setup. A well-centred tyre with a uniform diameter around its circumference reduces vibrations and significantly improves high-speed stability.

Mounting and preparation

• Carefully mount the tyre onto the corresponding rim without forcing the lip.
• If using contact adhesive, apply a minimal and even amount on the rim's edge.
• True on a lathe if you seek maximum performance in competition.
• Periodically check the condition of the tyres: rubber can harden over time or accumulate dirt that reduces grip.

Common mistakes

• Mounting incorrect size tyres: ensure that the 24x9.5 mm fits with the rim and body of your raid mount before gluing.
• Not cleaning the tyres: the accumulation of dust and silicone from the track reduces grip. Clean them with a slightly damp soft cloth.
• Forgetting centring: a poorly centred tyre causes vibration and uneven wear. Check the rolling before competing.

Ideal for…

This tyre is the natural choice for enthusiasts preparing or maintaining Scaleauto raid mounts and looking for reliable spare parts directly from the brand. It is also interesting for those experimenting with different rubber setups in search of the optimal balance between grip and wear on Sport track layouts.

Frequently asked questions

How many units are included in the SC-4751 pack?

The information on units per pack is not specified in the available data. We recommend checking it directly on the store's product page or contacting our team.

Are they compatible with Scalextric or Ninco track systems?

The tyre itself is independent of the type of track. What determines compatibility is the rim and the car mount, not the track. These tyres are designed for Scaleauto raid mounts; the track used (universal or Sport) does not affect the tyre choice.

Can I use these tyres in club competitions?

Yes, as long as your championship regulations allow the use of raid mounts with these tyres. Being an original reference from Scaleauto, they are usually accepted in categories that use material from this brand.

Is it necessary to true them before use?

It is not mandatory, but if you compete at the club level or seek maximum performance, truing the tyre on a lathe to equalise the diameter can improve stability and reduce vibrations on the track.

How do I keep the tyres in good condition?

Regularly clean the tyres with a soft cloth to remove dust and track debris. Store them in a cool place away from direct light to prevent the rubber from hardening over time.

Scaleauto SC-4751 rubber tyres measuring 24x9.5 mm are a purpose-made replacement for raid-style slot car builds. Designed to deliver consistent grip on Sport-rail tracks, these tyres are a go-to choice for hobbyists and club racers looking for reliable, brand-original components. Compatible with Scaleauto raid axle sets, they can be used straight out of the pack or trued on a lathe for competition-level precision.
