If you're involved in RC drifting—whether as a hobbyist exploring the sport for the first time, a weekend competitor at your local club, or a seasoned racer pushing for podium finishes—you'll appreciate how proper tyre mounting directly impacts your on-track performance. The DC10 Foam Drift Tyre Mounting Tape works seamlessly with Team Associated's new precision drift tyre range, which has been competition-proven on polished tile, polished concrete and painted surfaces. This tape is equally suitable as a workshop spare or as part of your trackside maintenance kit, ensuring you're never caught without the right adhesive when you need to swap or remount tyres.
RC drifting has become increasingly popular across the UK, with dedicated drift events and clubs hosting regular competitions on specially prepared polished surfaces. To compete effectively and maintain consistent performance, you need reliable components that have been tested in real-world conditions. The DC10 Foam Drift Tyre Mounting Tape represents Team Associated's commitment to providing competition-grade equipment for serious drifters.

Technical Performance
The DC10 Foam Drift Tyre Mounting Tape represents the engineering expertise that Team Associated brings to drift-specific products. Foam drift tyres require specialised mounting solutions that can accommodate the unique properties of foam compounds whilst maintaining a bond strong enough to withstand the lateral forces, heat cycles and rapid direction changes inherent in competitive drifting. This tape has been formulated to provide secure adhesion without damaging the foam tyre material or leaving residue that could affect tyre grip. The tape works in conjunction with Team Associated's range of high-quality resin drift tyres, which have been specifically designed for competition on polished surfaces—the most common drift track surfaces found at UK clubs and events. The combination of proper mounting tape and quality drift tyres creates a stable, predictable and consistent platform for developing your drifting skills and achieving competitive results. The tape's easy installation means less time spent on setup and more time practising your technique or competing at the track.
