Scalextric Legends McLaren M7C out

[Modlerbob]

Just picked up the M7C at The Race Place. It is better looking in person than on the computer screen. Now for more of it's contemporaries, hopefully.

Bob are the 21127 a bit narrow or is the rib on the wheel allowing the tire to slide inside.
It appears that a bit more wheel is visible than on the original.

I didn't notice that until I posted the image. Maybe a 21137 would be in order if he makes such a size. But these work great.

I bet they really grip and perform well.
It will be interesting to see if Paul does make a tire a bit wider for the 7c..

Bob I had a look on Pauls site and the only 21134 I could find were LM which imthink is a low profile.
But I wondered about the 70s F1 for his Mclaren and Ferrari 312t.
Perhaps a message to him may resolve it.
All the best

I saw that he makes a 21137 and a 21138 tire either of which might do the job. But what I have is fine with me.

Hi Guys, I think any size ending with LM would be too loose. The wheel looks about 11-12mm wide and 12mm bead OD. Has anyone tried the 22168FF? What's the width of the flange/rib? The recent Lotus and Tyrells' had 6mm flanges, however the 22168FF fit better in respect to clearing the suspension bits. Sorry, don't have the car yet, just speculating... PG

OK, here are the dimensions of the McLaren rear rim. Diameter of the face of the rim = 11.13mm, diameter of the ridge = 14.75mm, height of the ridge = 1.81mm, width of the ridge = 7.03mm and width of the entire rim = 11.81mm. These measurement were taken with a digital caliper.

I'm adding these to my list.

This kind of instant help on the forum just goes to reinforce my comments that I made regarding Paul a couple of minutes ago on another thread.

Paul, you are a star!
