Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In today's, longer than usual, video you can see how to make sure your slot car sponge rubber tyres are going to be the best possible shape for speed and grip. Listen carefully for lots of tips on how to finish your tyres and alter the driving characteristics of your slot car.

    Do you make the hex screw access hole by just jamming the hex driver trough the tire? Push the rubber aside? Or drill a hole somehow?

    Hey I'd like to ask you about the O-rings on your Hudy, do they last longer then the stock black O-rings? And whats the name of the red O-rings? And are they the same size as the original O-rings? James, I like your videos very much sir. Thank You! for your time and help!

    Be nice to see a truer that could do two hubs butted together so we can true two at once. Guess a bearing or V block support for the free end would be needed.

    I think they already exist. There is one made by PN racing… www.kenonhobby.com/PN-Racing-Pro-Tire-Truer-for-Slot-Car-Wheel-Shaft-size-18-332-2mm-and-3mm_p_45703.html And one made by backtrack… www.shoppscr.com/backtrack-2true-dual-tire-truer-bt2true

    I’ve had the backtrack for a few months. First and only truer I’ve owned. I wanted this one because it does 2 at once and doesn’t require a 12v power supply. Probably trued 100 pair. Works flawlessly.
