Man, what a great Friday. First, Carrera classics, and now new wheels for my Superbird. :banana-rock:

[HRWJim]

Very nice. I know what car I will do 1st. Jim

Harry, any chance you can gives us a time comparison between tires? Seems the like the one with the lower profile would be better.

[dreinecke]

Well, hot dog! Those are the bee's knees! Really, really great work you blokes at SCC are doing!

Paul, I agree with you. I was just wondering since the car has a high cg.

[HomeRacingWorld]

I'll see what I can get done sir. :)

Harry, what size axle did you use? I'm about to order a pair of wheels and would like to buy the axle at the same time. I know I have a few somewhere in all my boxe, but you can never have enough. :-)

Tony, we always recommend upgrading to a quality axle such as Slot.It when using our wheels.
Doing some quick measuring, it appears the 48mm length would work, as would a 50mm (just to be absolutely sure)

Other quality 3/32" axles that work are Sloting +, Plafit, Parma, etc.

[HomeRacingWorld]

There you have the answer. I use 3/32nd music wire in bulk for many projects, but when I order Slot.it axles I always get the longer ones and trim them to suit the model.

Harry, I pulled the plug. Just ordered my wheels from SCC and tires from Paul. Can't wait to to run some laps on the new track. 4x4 Superbirds. :-)

I get ejector pins, 12 inch long they are about 4.00
they are hardened and ground to a very close tolerance in straightness and diameter


Tony its the same rods that came with your jig

[HomeRacingWorld]

Wish I had ejector pins. Must be cool to know someone who has those.
