These will be great for scale modeling slot cars.
These are the perfect way to finish off a realistic slot car build - use the exact wheel/tire in the static kit - but make it a functional slot car tire.
Those Goodyear modified style slicks look interesting, lots of material in those castings...
Great project!

Cool Dave! If you are ever looking for certain tires, I got three bags full of 1/25 and 1/24 tires.

Nice job. I have found it is best to use up all the urethane once you break the seal. Looks like you did!!!

Those tires did come out great, Dave! Nice details in the tread, sidewalls, etc. Do you true them or run them as they come from the mold?

Those look GREAT Dave!
Having them all together like that makes for an impressive photo as well!
Two thumbs up sir! :D

Sure am eyeing all those slicks! For those of you that have not tried any of Dave's tires, they are great!
I use them exclusively on my Drag cars.
Nice work buddy.

Pat yourself on the back. Great work and really beautiful for scale racers. Almost makes me want to change to 1/24 slots.

Hi Dave,
What different aluminum rims and their sizes do you use for your variety of 1/24 or 1/25 builds?

From all of the tire smokin action I've seen on here from previous years, you sure that will be enough tires? :lol:

I can probably get a couple pair of diamond tread 1/24 tires if you want to mold them. K&B made them as did Buzco. Not sure I have any, but with an email I can probably get a couple pair.

Isn't it great to make a tire from a kit tire that you can actually use on a slot car? :D
While I haven't made 116 tires recently, I know the feeling when you pop a tire from the mold, and it looks just like the model kit tire. Only now you can glue it to a aluminum wheel and run it!! That alone is a good feeling! :banana-dance:
