This electric blanket set has been returned following a customer’s cancellation. We have checked the set and it works perfectly!

With its silicone heat pockets, this upgraded tyre warmer set is the ideal addition to any RC garage. Thanks to the silicone, the heat generated by the device is distributed very evenly across the tyres whilst preventing heat loss. Preheating the tyre surface increases the rubber’s coefficient of friction, thereby improving grip on the road surface. That’s what a smooth and supple ride feels like!

With various heating programmes and simple joystick operation, your tyres are always perfectly prepared – because you can never have enough grip.

Features:

• Removable silicone warmers for optimal heating of your tyres
• Simple operation via LCD display

What are tyre warmers used for?

Tyre heating blankets bring the tyre temperature – and thus the tyre pressure (irrelevant for foam rubber tyres) – and, above all, the grip to an optimum level before the start.
→ Aim: Maximum grip right from the very first metre, not just after 1–2 warm-up laps.

What effects do warm tyres have?

2. Increased grip
   : The rubber softens, allowing the tyres to hug the track better → more mechanical grip.

5. More consistent handling
   Tyres behave predictably right from the start; no more slippery ‘running-in’ phase.

8. Faster lap times right
   from the start A particular advantage in short heats or final races (e.g. 5-minute heats).

11. Improved tyre wear (in some cases)
    Tyres wear more evenly because they operate within the optimum temperature range right from the start.

How are they used?

2. Fitting : Tyre heating blankets (usually four) are placed around the fitted wheels.

5. Switch on & select temperature : Typical settings are 40–80 °C, depending on tyre type, track and outside temperature.

8. Warm up for 20–30 minutes before the race : This ensures the heat is distributed evenly right through to the tyre core.

11. Optional: Apply tyre grip enhancers (additives) beforehand : This is often combined with the blankets to enhance the effect.

14. Remove them just before the start and drive : You need to work quickly so that the temperature doesn’t drop straight away.

When are tyre warmers 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 outdoor temperatures → Critical, as cold tyres build up hardly any grip

• Foam rubber tyres (Nitro on-road 1/8 & 1/10) → Standard

Less relevant or prohibited : In off-road racing (buggy, truggy), these are generally uncommon or not permitted under the regulations.

In short :

Tyre warmers = Instant maximum grip right from the start — they offer a competitive advantage, particularly in on-road classes and on high-grip or cold tracks.
Set-ups are more consistent and predictable, leading to faster lap times.
