Better Cornering with Tamiya 51385 F104 Rear Sponge Tyres

The Tamiya 51385 F104 Rear Sponge Tyres are designed to increase rear traction and provide crisper handling for RC Formula 1 cars. They feature a 44mm inner diameter and a 35mm width for correct fitment on standard F104 wheels. The softer sponge offers superior grip compared with harder options such as Option Parts Item 54168, which many club racers prefer for technical layouts.

Will these work on older F104 versions?

They are compatible with the common F104 wheel patterns, though very old or modified cars might need a fit check. Confirm hex size and wheel offset before fitting.

What glue is recommended for sponges?

Use a tyre-specific adhesive or a light tyre glue suitable for sponge compounds. Apply sparingly and ensure the wheel seat is clean for the best bond.

How long do these tyres last in club use?

Lifespan varies with track surface and driving style. Softer sponges give better grip but typically show faster wear on abrasive tracks; monitoring tread and rotating tyres can prolong use.
