New - HoBao 1/8th Inserts

Since an RC tyre does not use air pressure to maintain its shape, a foam insert needs to be used. Your foam inserts play a huge role in how your tyres perform. These new molded inserts from HoBao are available in 3 different compounds. Lets look closer at what these compounds can do for you. The black (firm) insert is ideal for maximising control as the extra firmness allows the tyre to maintain its shape. This in turn means the tyre has increased traction and maneuverability. The grey (medium) compound is better suited for tracks which include jumps. There is more 'give' in the insert allowing it to soak up more of the impact when landing. For the best of both worlds you can always go for the more professional dual compound. While more expensive than the other single colour inserts, the dual insert has hardened shoulders with a softer strip in the middle. This means you get the added traction of the black insert with the improved dampening of the grey insert. Ideal for your HoBao Hyper 9, Hyper 8 or Hyper 7 these great new inserts fit perfectly in to any HoBao 1/8th scale tyre.
