As a proud owner of the Tire Razor, I was wondering if it was possible to make a small adapter for it so I can true plastic rims on HO axles?

Since the forked arms on the Razor are fixed, I was thinking of adapting some kind of holder to accommodate the tiny HO axles but figured I may as well as you if you had come up with anything like this. The fancy plastic wheels on HO are notoriously useless for actual driving so I was hoping for a fix. A smaller "pacman" pulley would have to be fabricated to account for the sub-3/32 axles in HO but otherwise all that is needed is a pair of small forks that can fit on the existing forks.

Thanks for any thoughts you may have on the subject.

Cheers,
Mike

PS - I posted here since I figured it would get missed in the HO forum.

I made this for truing front and rear tires for HO the guy sands the tires to a certain size



Could you true the wheels on the car with a sanding block?

I could, but it puts too much strain on the chassis and gear train (HO is more delicate than 1/32) and you can't dial in the truing like you can on the Razor. I'll figure out a holder for HO axles and if I come up with something decent, I will post a picture.

I get very few requests for HO truers I never put much thought into it

would like to see what you come up with :text-thankyouyellow:
