Model racers seeking better traction should consider the Tamiya 51384 F104 sponge tyres, which increase grip and steadiness on smooth track surfaces. They are a solid choice for improving steering precision during competitive runs.
Specifically for the Tamiya F104 chassis, this sponge tyre uses a softer composition than Option Parts Item 54167. The tyre inner diameter is 44mm and the width is 30mm, allowing a tight fit to standard F104 wheel rims for enhanced surface contact.
Ensure tyres are mounted evenly and verify there are no air gaps between tyre and rim. Inspect after sessions and clean gently to remove track residue. These tyres perform best on prepared, low-grit circuits where the soft sponge can give predictable traction.
