This Yokomo YT-WG2 rubber band is an RC-scale support accessory used when bonding and finishing rubber tires. It holds the tire to the wheel so the bead and rim sit closely together, reducing gaps during glue cure and allowing more accurate trimming of the tyre edge.
Use it during glue-up to keep consistent pressure around the tyre bead, especially when mounting soft compound tyres or when re-carding a tyre after repair. The elastic band keeps the tyre seated while you check for even contact and perform final trimming and cleaning.
Practical tips: stretch the band evenly around the tyre, avoid twisting the band, and inspect the tyre bead for even seating before the glue sets. For repeated use, keep spare bands on hand and store them away from heat and direct sunlight to preserve elasticity.
