Ranch design

Where can I get tires for the ranch design rear wheels? Looks like 11cm x 9 wide and raised 3cm center bead.

sadly no one makes those specific tires anymore.
the only tire source i know right now is Carsten in Germany, www.slotcarparts.de but his doesn´t have all the different tire sizes from Steve.

Aki (taskak) sent me some tires from somewhere else. but sadly i do not remember the place.
And there is Bruno in France - Lloyd should know the adress.

Thanks,so he probably would have the alum crown gears and the sidewinder spur gears?

No chbronco, not the alunm crown gear or spur gear unfortunately, I am reusing my sor gears until I can find something similar.

Regards, Lloyd.

Small tires that I send to you Peter was from Bruno too.

Maybe some Carrera, SCX or Kyosho car got wheels that is close to that.
Or if there is a used Ranch Design tire maybe that could be used to make a mold.

Is there a place where I can get small bottles of urethane and maybe cap the old tires,dont need 2 pints of the stuff, and what pitch of gears do you guys use 64,72?

Not sure where you are located if I'm the UK check with Wayne Allan - WASP tyres in the UK he may be able to make some tyres for you by copying the originals.
You can find him on Slot Forum or here https://sites.google.com/view/waspslot or Facebook - WASP Tyres

You could try contacting Paul Gage - or Chappy (on the forum here). Both are in Canada, They may also be able to make tyres from originals for you

cheers

Paul Daigle wrote two articles on Ranch Design cars.
If you can't find them, give me a PM with your e-mail and I'll send you copies.
Go wood, stay hard.

Talked to Paul,he said the tire molds have long ago dried out looks like I need to mold them myself any good tutorials for tire molding out there?Need to find a supplier in Canada hopefully that sells less than 2 pints of urethane never use that much will dry up first.Anybody know if superjetslotcars is in business they don't seem to reply to my emails,the have 1/43 alum wheels.Off into the net to search.
