Schumacher Hot Race 1:8 Buggy Tyres Vesuvio Soft - (2)

The Hot Race Vesuvio Soft 1:8 buggy tyres are designed and engineered with a distinctive V-shaped tread to maximise performance on clay, oily, humid or slightly dusty tracks. Developed with team drivers over nearly a year of testing, this soft-compound Vesuvio aims to deliver confident pace with a balanced feel. Supplied as a pair, part number SCH-HR001-0621.

Key Features

• More traction for strong forward drive.
• Increased steering response for precise cornering.
• On dusty tracks, the V-pattern helps evacuate dirt from the centre to the outer edges, enhancing forward drive and side grip.
• Easier to drive on bumpy tracks thanks to the tread’s stable, predictable behaviour.

Design Insight

The Vesuvio’s V-centric tread philosophy targets consistent bite and smooth transitions, helping maintain momentum as conditions evolve from slightly dusty to humid or oil-affected surfaces. The soft compound further supports mechanical grip when temperatures or track prep limit available traction.

Compound Range

The Vesuvio is produced in multiple compounds including UKSS, super soft, soft, medium, hard, clay and White Compound, allowing racers to choose the option suited to their track conditions.
