CS Electronic MZ1 tire cleaner

CS Electronic have introduced their new MZ1 tire cleaner, which was specially developed for use on Mini-Z racers. Previously Mini-z tires would be cleaned with something like WD-40 which would degrease the tires unevenly which lead to degradation and poor performance and could even dissolve the glue holding it to the rim. The MZ1 tire cleaner takes away all of these problems giving an even cleaning leaving them optimally prepared for the next run.
