INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
RacingStar Professional Tire Warmers are designed to pre-heat rubber tires for 1/10 size
touring car. Using tire warmer can optimum temperature of tires before taking the car
onto a track or race circuit. Having the surface rubber hot increases the co-efficient of
friction of the rubber and adding to its ability to grip the track surface. Pre-heating the
rubber eliminates downtime of tires building up heat naturally to attain the full
performance of the tire.
Using RacingStar Tire Warmers gives you the advantage of tires being ready as soon as
you roll out onto the track.

NOTES
Fitted tire warmers must never come into contact with the ground – the car must
always be elevated clear of the ground using suitable stands.
Never use tire warmers unless they are fitted to a tire!
Do not fit, use or remove tire warmers when the car is still power on.
Always check the tire warmers before use, if any signs of wear or damage are
noticed then they must not be used
Never attempt to modify the warmers
Do not leave tire warmers in use unattended
Only for use with 1/10 scale rubber tires
HOW TO CONNECT TIRE WARMER TO DC POWER SOURCE
1.
Located on the left hand side of the tire warmer is a jack for the connection of the DC power cord.
To utilize the tire warmer’s absolute maximum capability, the DC power source must be capable
of delivering at least 8 amps while maintaining 12V DC.
Connect to
AC/DC Adaptor
or LiPo Battery 3S
Also located on the bottom of the tire warmer is secondary DC jack. This jack is designed for
2.
docking in to the Efuel Power Supply 17A 230W(SK-200017). Always match polarities (red lead
to red + terminal, black lead to black - terminal).

uniformly and fully. Do not use for any periods longer than
30 minutes as this can damage the tire.
How to setup temperature
Increse front or rear temperature.
Decrese front or rear temperature.
If you need extra hot warming for certain
track or weather conditions, You can set
100℃/212℉ by hit key once more
when you reach to 80℃/176℉.
STEP WARMING
You can warm your tires by 2 step in this mode. It is convenient when you apply two
different kinds of tire additives on your tires.
Three steps has one more warming step, all other functions are exactly the same
