Upgrade Your Touring Car with Tamiya 53955 Mesh Slicks

The Tamiya 53955 5-spoke mesh slick tyres are designed for 1/10 scale touring cars running on smooth tracks. Chrome-finish wheel centres and a hard rubber tyre compound combine to give steady performance and a neat appearance.

Main Features to Note

Compatibility: Intended for Tamiya 1/10 scale touring car hubs and assemblies.
Construction: Chrome plated plastic wheels mated to hard rubber tyres for durability under regular use.
Design: The classic 5-spoke mesh look complements touring car bodywork.

Intended Applications

These slicks suit racers and hobbyists who run on indoor circuits or well-maintained outdoor surfaces. The hard compound reduces wear during frequent track sessions, helping keep running costs down.

Can I use these on damp tracks?

Traction is significantly reduced on damp surfaces; these slicks work best when the track is dry and clean.

What mounting interface do the wheels use?

The wheels are compatible with a 12mm hex, which is widely used on 1/10 scale touring cars.

How should I clean the chrome centres?

Use a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove dirt, then dry thoroughly to preserve the chrome finish.

Are these tyres suitable for competitive club racing?

Yes, they are suitable for club-level racing on smooth surfaces where a hard compound and predictable behaviour are preferred.
