MEUS RACING Soft Silicone Rubber Inserts for 1.0 Tires (56-58mm) - Orange Soft Compound
MEUS RACING Soft Silicone Rubber Inserts for 1.0 Tires (56-58mm) - Orange Soft Compound
MEUS RACING soft silicone rubber inserts are designed for 1.0 scale RC crawler tires with an outer diameter of 56–58 mm and a width of 20–24 mm. These orange soft-compound inserts fit MEUS MS6 tires (models #1003, #1004, #1005) and aim to improve grip and sidewall support through an asymmetric structure and wave-pattern surface.
What size tires do these inserts fit?
These inserts are intended for 1.0 tires with an outer diameter between 56 mm and 58 mm and a tire width between 20 mm and 24 mm. They are specifically compatible with MEUS MS6 tires part numbers #1003, #1004, and #1005. For best results, verify your tire dimensions match these ranges before installation.
How the asymmetric structure supports the sidewall
The inserts feature an asymmetric design that provides stronger sidewall support compared to uniform inserts. This helps reduce improper tire twisting during crawling, which can occur when the tire deforms unevenly under load. The wave pattern on the surface is intended to guide tire deformation in a controlled way, potentially improving traction on uneven surfaces.
Two compound options: super soft vs. soft
MEUS RACING offers two compounds for these inserts: super soft (rose red) and soft (orange). The soft compound (orange, included in this listing) is chosen for a balance between conformability and stability. The super soft compound is better suited for loose terrain where maximum grip is needed, while the soft compound works well on mixed surfaces. Both compounds are made from high-quality silicone rubber, which provides waterproof and temperature-resistant properties.
