MEUS RACING Soft Silicone Tire Inserts for 1.3" RC Crawler Tires (Orange, 68-72mm)

MEUS RACING soft silicone rubber inserts are designed for 1.3-inch RC crawler tires with an outer diameter of 68 to 72 mm and a width of 25 to 29 mm. They feature an asymmetric structure that strengthens sidewall support and minimizes tire twist, while a wave pattern and uneven inner-outer density guide tire deformation for improved grip. Made from high-quality silicone rubber, these inserts are waterproof and temperature-resistant. Available in a soft orange compound (with a super soft rose-red option), they let you tune your RC crawler's handling to suit different terrains.

How the Asymmetric Structure Improves Performance

The asymmetric design of these inserts provides stronger support on the side walls. This reduces the tire twisting that can occur during aggressive turning or rock crawling. By keeping the tire more stable, steering response becomes more predictable and consistent.

Understanding the Wave Pattern and Uneven Density

The wave pattern on the surface of the insert promotes controlled tire deformation. As the tire compresses against a surface, the waves help the tread conform to rocks or dirt for better traction. Additionally, the layout of dense inner and sparse outer rubber further encourages the proper amount of flex, allowing the tire to grip without collapsing.

Choosing Between Super Soft and Soft Compounds

MEUS RACING offers these inserts in two formulations. The orange version is a soft compound that balances grip and durability. For even more traction on slick or loose surfaces, the super soft compound (rose red) provides maximum conformability. Each color corresponds to a specific handling characteristic, so you can match them to your driving style and terrain.

Key Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Which tires do these inserts fit?

They fit 1.3-inch tires with an outer diameter of 68 to 72 mm and a width of 25 to 29 mm. Compatible examples include MEUS MS6 MPRO pin tires (#1302).

Are the inserts waterproof?

Yes, the silicone rubber material offers exceptional waterproof properties as well as temperature resistance.

What is the difference between the orange and rose-red versions?

The orange inserts are a soft compound, while the rose-red ones are super soft. Choose orange for a balance of support and flex, or super soft for maximum grip on tricky terrain.

How do they reduce tire twist?

The asymmetric structure provides stronger sidewall support, which limits improper twisting during steering and crawling.
