BRM Shore 35 Low Profile Rear Tyre for the Minicars Fiat Abarth 1000 1/24 RAC

When it comes to tuning in 1/24 slot racing, the choice of tyre is as crucial as any other adjustment to the car. BRM understands this, which is why it offers this specific rear tyre for the Minicars Fiat Abarth 1000 in RAC format: a precision consumable designed for those who leave nothing to chance.

Technical Specifications

• Position: rear axle
• Compound: Shore 35 (soft mix, high grip)
• Profile: low
• Dimensions: 19x12 mm
• Wheel compatibility: ø15.5 mm
• Reference: BRM-S404FLR

Function and Performance

The Shore 35 compound is one of the softest in the BRM catalogue, resulting in a larger contact patch with the track and therefore more grip. The low profile promotes a lower centre of gravity, improving cornering stability without sacrificing response during quick direction changes, common in 1/24 competition layouts.

The Shore 35 hardness is particularly effective on tracks with good grip levels or well-gommée surfaces, where a soft compound can be fully utilised without excessive wear.

Compatibility and Installation

This tyre is designed to be mounted directly onto the ø15.5 mm rims of the Minicars Fiat Abarth 1000 in 1/24 scale. Before installation, it is advisable to ensure that the rim is perfectly centred and free of rubber debris from the stock set. A light truing after mounting helps achieve a perfectly concentric and uniform rotation, especially important when competing in RAC category where regulations are stringent.

Considerations

As a soft compound, the Shore 35 may show more wear than harder mixes during long practice sessions. It is advisable to have a spare set on hand if many laps are anticipated before the race. It is also recommended to clean the tyre with a dry cloth before use, avoiding products that may alter the compound.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tyre suitable for other BRM models or is it exclusive to the Fiat Abarth 1000?

It is specifically designed for the Minicars Fiat Abarth 1000 1/24 RAC and its ø15.5 mm rims. Before mounting it on another model, check that the rim dimensions and wheel arch clearance are compatible.

What is the difference between Shore 35 and harder compounds?

The lower the Shore value, the softer the compound. A Shore 35 offers greater grip and deformability, improving contact with the track. Harder compounds last longer but sacrifice grip, especially in fast corners.

Is it necessary to true the tyre after mounting?

It is not mandatory, but highly recommended in competition. A fine truing ensures perfect concentricity and eliminates small irregularities that can affect the car's balance at high speeds.

When is it advisable to use a low profile instead of a high profile?

The low profile reduces the car's height and lowers the centre of gravity, improving stability. It is the usual choice in competition categories where regulations allow this type of mounting and prioritise track performance over other factors.

What lubricant should I use on the rear axle when changing tyres?

It is advisable to apply a minimal amount of specific slot lubricant to the bearings or hubs of the rear axle, avoiding contact with the tyre, as any greasy contamination drastically reduces grip.
