Function and Performance

A well-chosen tyre makes the difference between a car that slides through every chicane and one that corners confidently. The S1 tyres from Sloting Plus offer a profile that promotes even contact with the track, resulting in cleaner traction and greater ease in maintaining the racing line. They are especially valued by those who prepare their cars with attention to detail, whether for home use or club racing.

Installation and Preparation

Before mounting the tyres, it is advisable to check that the inner diameter fits correctly with your car's rim. To achieve maximum performance, it is recommended to true them (if you have a truer) to ensure that the outer diameter is perfectly uniform. A well-centred tyre reduces vibrations and improves the car's response in corners. Using specific glue for slot tyres helps secure them without excess penetrating the inside of the rim.

Compatibility

The size 17x10 mm is common in a wide variety of slot cars. However, we recommend checking the specifications of your model's rim before placing an order, as the inner width and hub diameter may vary between manufacturers. If in doubt, the Ministry of Hobby team can assist you.

Common Mistakes

• Not checking the inner diameter: a tyre with the incorrect fit may be loose or not fit the rim.
• Mounting without truing: if the tyre is not perfectly round, the car will vibrate and lose effective grip.
• Using too much glue: this can stiffen the rubber and reduce its adhesion capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the exact size of these tyres?

The S1 tyres from Sloting Plus have a size of 17x10 mm (outer diameter x width).

Is it necessary to true them before use?

It is not strictly mandatory, but it is highly recommended if you are looking for maximum performance. Truing ensures that the diameter is uniform around the circumference, eliminating vibrations and improving grip.

What type of glue is used to secure them?

The ideal is to use specific glue for slot tyres, applied in small amounts on the inside of the rubber or on the rim. Avoid fast-drying cyanoacrylates, as they can penetrate the compound and harden it.
