I had no idea of the different types of tires. This has given me fuel for thought. I have gotten back into the hobby in the last 2 years with my own track. Most of my cars (if not all of them) are unmodified but what I am learning from you might change that. After watching your video on cleaning your cars, I've started cleaning my fleet with some outstanding results.

[@TRXperienced]

Hi Synick! Thank You for your comments!! I have learned so much from this hobby over the years and I’m happy to share it with all the others! Happy to hear that you got back into H.O. slot cars and it sounds like you are getting your cars to run TIP TOP. Please feel free to reach out to me if there is anything I can help you with. GOD BLESS!!!

Excelant tire video Mark! Thank you for sharing you knowledge onh o cars and track videos EAGLE

[@SlotCarMisfitsofallscales]

Awesome info

[@randy1817]

Good video.. Could you give the exact description of the front wheels and tires?? You said the front wheels were an independent set up. I was wondering what size they were?

[@TRXperienced]

I’m using a .365 on the front tires. I got it from Scale Auto -HT 202.

[@XXSLEDGEHAMMER360XX]

What's the ratio with simple green to water? Great video by the way.

[@TRXperienced]

Hi Charles! Thank You for watching!! 1:1 ratio seems to be good. Happy Racing and God Bless!!!

Where did you get the tirer sizer?

[@greggieboy1046]

Thank you for the informative video on different types of tires. Do you have any suggestions of where to purchase replacement tires?

[@TRXperienced]

What cars do you need replacements for?

[@greggieboy1046]

@@TRXperienced Thanks for the response. It is an older A/FX. Don't know if you're familiar an older one that is a Datsun 240Z, red with white sides and the number 46 on the doors. It has thin up front but the rear tires cracked and fell off long ago. Don't think this is much help. Perhaps I should measure the diameter of the rims?

[@TRXperienced]

@@greggieboy1046 Here is a link to an eBay seller that has the stock replacement tires: www.ebay.com/itm/114962049234 I recommend silicone tires if you are going to be racing. I use SuperTires.460R on my AFX track system.

[@greggieboy1046]

@@TRXperienced Thanks for the link. Just placed the order.

Do you sell the track (set up) track peice? I could buy one off you,thanks..

Where did you get the tire sizer?

[@TRXperienced]

Hi Johnny! I got this one from Wizzard many years ago. VIPER Scale Racing also has them. Happy Racing and God Bless!!

[@randy1817]

I didn't see that tire gauge on the Wizard sit. Do you know what part number it is?

[@TRXperienced]

Hi Randy! Wizzard no longer sells those. Viper has them!!

[@jeffnorbert1871]

The ones I have seen from Viper are small and limited as to size range. Personally I want a tire gauge for all HO slotcars. For sure .460 down to about .340 I'm probably just going to use drill gauge sizer. Won't have 2 one thousandths of an inch increments but I'll deal with it. Last time I saw one like the one in the video was on eBay and it sold for close to $100. Stuff that people actually like is hard to find. Same with a decent SG+ endbell tool.

[@logangordon4831]

[@TRXperienced]

Hi Logan! Thanks for watching! Harden Creek, Super Tires, and VIPER are all great places to get your tires. Happy Racing and God Bless!!
