Power Cable and Scalextric Bushings - Help Needed

[rsoward]

I now am the new owner of a Tire Razor!
Thanks Jon

I need to now make me a cable…

Got the banana plugs and going to get the clips for the motor from radio shake?

What type of wire do I want to use?

Also, I have Scalextric cars that do not have bushings for the front axle.

What bushings do I need to purchase to fit the axle so I can true the front tires?

Thanks,
Ryan

What happens if the wheels are different and the front tires are smaller then the back tires?

Can just work them on the back wheels and true them? Will this not make a false truing?

Thanks,

Ryan

Ryan,

Regular axle bushings will do. But with most Scalextric cars you'll have to remove one wheel to get the axles out of the car and then grind/file off the knurling and then hope to get the wheel back on concentricly.

Unless you have more patience and time than me, I think better to do in the car using the rear wheels in the machine and one wheel to drive the front axle and true manually with an emery board then reverse and do the other wheel.

If all your cars are 4wd you are stuck with the first option.

Silly me......I just use a little lube when there are no bearings on the axle.
Not been a problem for me.....
