Need help with my current car collection and new purchases.

Bibbster's super glue trick is one of the best things you can do to a car.
You'll be surprised at how much it helps.
And don't forget about having fun.The MOST important thing!

Looking at Jon’s video, he shows to super glue the tires to the wheels.


Questions:
Does everyone do this step and what kind of glue do you use?
Jon is showing dark black glue for the wheels and tires.

I run on Scalextric Sport track.

What kind of tire should I use for my cars? Not asking tire size but the material of tire. I know there are 2 or 3 different materials but I am not sure what type.

Thanks,
Ryan

that Video was made for me by MrFlippant, I will check with him on what glue he used, I like nail polish the clear stuff called strong as nails, but in the middle of a race I will use super glue :auto-driving:

I like Paul Gage Tires the best, I think they will work great for you, remember to set the kids cars up the best so you have more of a challenge racing them :music-rockout:

Ok.. found the answer to my glue question here: http://slotcarillustrated.com/portal/fo ... hp?t=58211

Still would like options on tire type for Scalextric Sports track.

Thanks,

Jon,

So I guess you are saying it doesn't matter on type... just get Paul's tires. I am good with that if that's the answer.

Thanks again,

Ryan

Ryan, everyone finds something that works best for them. I run on Scalex Sport and find urethane tyres work well for me. I used to run on MJKs which are an Aussie product, but since dropping in here I've been converted to Paul's tyres. Everyone likes something different to suit their driving style. Some like more grip, some like less.

On the bare Scalex Sport track I found the XPG formulation from Paul was good and predictable. But since I've painted the plastic track the XPG is now a little too grippy and I've cut back to the standard ones.
