The Kyosho MBT001S set contains two soft OPTIMA tyres intended for Mini-Z buggy builds running the MB-010 platform, featuring an inner foam layer bonded to a softer rubber compound. The design enhances traction and driver feedback without modifying wheel fitment.
To fit: place the tyre on a compatible Mini-Z rim, ensure the bead seats uniformly, then centre the foam insert before tightening the wheel nut. Correct seating and occasional balancing reduce jumpiness and uneven wear at technical venues.
As an upgrade choice, the softer OPTIMA compound offers stronger mechanical grip at the cost of faster wear and modestly higher rolling resistance. Select these tyres for better corner traction on indoor carpet or short asphalt circuits, and rotate to firmer options during extended practice sessions to preserve tyre life.
Service hints: check inserts after a number of runs for compression or distortion, swap tyre positions to manage wear patterns, and keep hub and hex mating surfaces clean to prevent apparent tyre slip.
This pair works as a direct aftermarket accessory for MB-010 Mini-Z buggies, aimed at drivers refining traction and balance for compact track conditions.
