That being said, I am asking the group for any suggestions for obscure slot car tire sizes that may be needed.
I am making some new molds this week for urethane tires, and was wondering if anyone had a special or custom size they may need?. I realize that Paul makes everything we need in our RTR cars, and a few more as well. I am looking for the tires that are not mainstream enough for a major tire provider to concern himself with, but still may be a small need for. I have a huge selection of original tires from all makes, and a large selection from static models as well. If anyone has a particular oddball that they want copied, let me know on this thread please. I will be making molds over the next few weeks, and giving them time to de-gas, so this wont be an overnight project by any means. I am open to using any quality masters that can be provided as well.
The finished urethane tires will be made from reo-flex 40 dry. They will be vac chambered and post setting heat cured. My aim is to provide a quality all track surface tire that is not available anywhere else. I hope this "Artisan" approach to provide non mainstream tires will be helpful.
Any of you who have followed some of my builds over the years know, I believe there is a lot of fun to be had building odd slot cars, especially if you can find proper sized, good traction tires for them. and of course having a tire with good sidewall detail can make or break a good modeling project. So, let me know what is wanted out there, and maybe I /we, can provide some!
