SLICK Black Pat Map 48

The SRC Black Pat MAP 48: the favourite tyre of fast track drivers

When we talk about slot racing competition tyres with a unique character, the Black Pat MAP 48 from SRC deserves special mention. Its formula combines traditional rubber base with the Black Pat compound, developed exclusively by SRC, giving it on-track behaviour that no other tyre replicates accurately.

Technical specifications

• Reference: SRC RN0132 / SRCRN0132
• Dimensions: 18.9 x 9.9 mm (MAP 48)
• Position: rear section
• Pack of 4 units
• Exclusive Black Pat compound developed by SRC
• Regulated wear

On-track behaviour and performance

The Black Pat shares the wear structure of SRC's MTX tyres, but incorporates an additional delay in its response that makes a difference. This nuance allows the driver to be demanding on the line, pushing the car to the limit in every corner without losing grip in the sector. The result is a tyre that encourages risk-taking with confidence.

Its regulated wear makes it a highly valued option in endurance races, where consistency throughout the stints is as important as peak performance. Unlike more aggressive compounds that degrade quickly, the Black Pat maintains predictable and stable behaviour for more laps.

Recommended applications

• Speed tracks and circuits with high technical demands.
• Long duration and endurance races, where the durability of the compound determines the final outcome.
• Surfaces with eroded plastic grain, where other compounds may be too aggressive or unpredictable.

Mounting and preparation

As these are tyres for the rear section, it is important to verify that the MAP 48 dimensions (18.9 x 9.9 mm) are compatible with the rear wheels of your chassis before proceeding with the mounting. To achieve maximum performance, a light sanding or turning is recommended to achieve the exact circumference and ensure perfect contact with the track. A well-prepared tyre is the foundation of any serious setup.

They are specific rear section tyres. Always check compatibility with your wheels before mounting them.

How many units does the pack include?

Are they suitable for endurance racing?

Yes, SRC expressly recommends them for this type of competition due to their regulated wear and consistent behaviour throughout the stints.

What type of surface do they perform best on?

They are particularly suited for tracks with eroded plastic grain, where their compound offers a distinguishing grip compared to other tyres on the market.

Do they require any prior preparation before use?

For optimal performance, it is recommended to sand or turn them until the desired circumference is achieved and to ensure uniform contact with the track. It is not mandatory, but it is common in competition.
