Will the Javelin tires fit the Mustang?
If so, how about doing a tire swap and checking lap times?

Thanks.

Think I'll have to take that long drive to Mark Twain this weekend.

I'm curious if the track in the back is wider for the Javelin. The Mustangs are narrow puppies. I see it's 58mm but what is the Mustang?

Tire cannot be swapped. Different wheel design. These Javelin wheels are near Slot.it 15x10 size with a 5 MM rib.

The Mustang is actually a touch wider on the rear track.
55.50 MM for Stang
53.75 MM for Javelin

HOWEVER...you could make this rear track wider on the Javelin if you start tuning with new gear. There is room to spread them out under these big fenders.

Might head to Mark Twain myself.

I have one on the way from SCC too. Since all the other Scalextric Trans Am cars I have share the same tire size (same size as Pioneer Trans Am cars) I thought the Javelin would too. If or when there are some PG tires available please post the part numbers.

There was no Javelin listed on the PG tire finder at SCC when I placed the order.
