Now available from Harco Hobbies are Take Off’s Pre-Mounted Foam Tires for 1/10 GP Touring.

They are available in a variety of sizes - 26mm, 28mm, and 30mm and the following shore ratings - 31, 34, 37, 40, and 43. Available in Double Layered (Five Compounds) or Multi Layered (Four Compounds) gives the tires both high grip and long life.

I received a set of 30mm, 40 shore tires from Harco Hobbies and mounted them on my Associated TC3 and went out to race at the Monroe County RC Car Club track. They were racing Touring Car Oval carpet that night so I decided to try my hand at that.

I did not have a tire truer so I just ran the tires as is out of the box. The tires hooked up great on the carpet. After 2 qualifiers and the A Main I did not see any noticeable wear on any of the tires.

I received many comments on the Take Off tires because of their unique Split 5 spoke design.

After testing these new Take Off tires I’d recommend them to any novice or veteran racer.
