Arrowmax 1:10 Tire Warmer incl. Bag - Black Golden

The new tire heating blankets from Arrowmax are characterized by a particularly practical design and easy handling. The heating blankets are plugged into the station from the front, which makes it much easier to organize the cables on the table. The control unit has an XT60 plug and can be conveniently connected to a 3S Lipo and a 13.8V power supply unit.

The precise sensors regulate the temperature very reliably and accurately and can be set separately for the front and rear axles. In addition, a separately available warmer can also be used to heat Lipo batteries before charging.
The tire heating station is designed in the typical black and gold Arrowmax look!

What are tire heating blankets used for?

Tire heating blankets bring the tire temperature and thus the tire pressure (irrelevant for sponge rubber tires) and above all the grip  to an optimum levelbefore the start .
→ Goal: Maximum grip directly from the first meter, not only after 1-2 warm-up laps.

What effects do warm tires have?

1. Increased grip
   Rubber becomes softer, the tires adapt better to the track → more mechanical grip.

2. More consistent handling
   Tires behave predictably right from the start, no more slippery "break-in".

3. Faster lap times right from the start
   An advantage especially in short heats or finals (e.g. 5-minute heats).

4. Better tire wear (in some cases)
   Tires wear more evenly because they operate in the optimum temperature window right from the start.

How are they used?

1. Mounting: Tire heating blankets (usually four pieces) are placed around the mounted wheels.

2. Switch on & select temperature:   40-80 °C is usual, depending on tire type, route and outside temperature.

3. Heat for 20-30 minutes before the run: This distributes the heat evenly to the tire core.

4. Optional: Apply tire gripping agent (additive) beforehand: This is often combined with the blankets to increase the effect.

5. Remove and drive immediately before starting: Work quickly so that the temperature does not drop immediately.

When are tire heating blankets particularly worthwhile?

• On-road touring cars (1/10 electric, nitro) → Very common

• Stock classes (less engine power) → The extra grip helps when accelerating out of corners

• Low-grip carpet or cold outside temperatures → Critical, as cold tires hardly build up any grip

• Sponge rubber tires (Nitro Onroad 1/8 & 1/10) → Standard

Less relevant or prohibited: Usually unusual in the offroad sector (buggy, truggy) or not permitted according to the regulations.

In short:

Tire heating blankets = Immediate maximum grip from the start - they are a competitive advantage, especially in on-road classes and on grippy or cold tracks.
setups are more consistent and predictable, which leads to faster lap times.
