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 unit 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 track surface. This is what a smooth and supple ride feels like!

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

What are tyre warmers used for?

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

What are the effects of warm tyres?

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

2. More consistent
   handling: Tyres behave predictably right from the start, no more slippery ‘break-in’ phase.

3. Faster lap times right
   from the startAn advantage particularly in short heats or final races (e.g. 5-minute heats).

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

How are they used?

1. Fitting : Tyre warmers (usually four) are placed around the fitted wheels.

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

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

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

5. Remove immediately before the start and drive : Quick work is required so that the temperature does not drop immediately.

When are tyre 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 tyres build up hardly any grip

• Foam rubber tyres (Nitro Onroad 1/8 & 1/10) → Standard

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

In short :

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