Oh I just found the photo of the Mini I will try to build, and you all will kill me, LOL Class 7 autograss, it is wild

First the Ranch Design wheels and tires



Now the Slot-it small plastic Can-Am wheels with Paul Gage tires

What is the actual diameter of the wheels, without tires, at the rim?

[Austin]

Ranch Design wheels actual diameter 11.87 mm

Slot-it wheels actual diameter 11.97 mm

Do you know what the dimensions are? I didn't see them anywhere on the site. It would seem like an F-1 wheel would dwarf the Mini's, but that's just me guessing.

#80723 alloy wheel
0.407 I.D.
0.569 O.D. measured rib
0.472 O.D. actual wheel if the rib was removed

[waaytoomuchintothis]

0.472 X 32 = 15.1 inches, but that assumes exact scale, which is never the case. I think we are aiming for a 12 inch rim, but I'm just guessing that is close to it. We have at least four Minis here at HRW, I'm hoping one of them will tell us what size the wheels are. It could be 13" or a metric that is anywhere in the neighborhood of 12"-13". I'm shooting in the dark here, as I have never tried to cut a scale wheel, much less a slightly off scale (large) wheel, like the Scaley/SCX Minis of long ago.

The mini I found the I want to build, Class 7 ran the 13" wheels I will be useing .4710" { 11.97 mm ] wheels


.Starting to build the chassis for these wheels

Making my signs from Avery address peel and stick labels.





Easy enough to make. I'll just stick them on after the car is finished. I will cut them a little neater of course, but you get the idea.

[waaytoomuchintothis]

That will work for the top signboard, too. Tougher than a decal.

That little Mini pickup has been tempting me for years. Two guys on HRW have done great cars from that kit. One was Jagermeister and I wonder if that is the one picture.

[HomeRacingWorld]

Avery has a free template download. It goes into Word and you just make them.

I'll print some out in various sizes and send you some.

This is just one way really. Just figured the stickers would go over the paint well enough and would be pretty durable.

May I be considered as a track to host a round of the proxy? My routed three lane oval can either be 4X8 or 4X12. It's powered by a Pyle 7-15v 25 amp PS and I run Parma Econo 25's.

In the past, our buddy, Bruce "Da Vols" and I hosted some various SCI proxies on my track. My weakness is that I don't have a dedicated timing system or an old enough computer to load one to. In the past, we used a single lane optical timer and ran one car at a time, using two lanes and combined times for a final placing. Ties were broken by qualifying times.

The attached picture is from awhile back in the 4X8 size. I built another 4X4 insert that also included drop ins for an infield road course.
