For those interested in the new Toyota Supra or Dodge Viper it sounds like they will not be available until next November. Unfortunately after our series has started. There are plenty of new Porsche liveries as well as the new Marcos LM600.
Don’t forget that we will be running this series with RevoSlot foam tires. This should take the guessing work out of the tire issues we had in the 2018 series. We will also be opening up the motor choice to alleviate any motor issues.
More to come.

ALL:
The official rear wheel and tire for the upcoming RevoSlot series will be Scaleauto’s new SC-2012 rear foam tire/wheel combination. This will be the easiest way to get everyone on the same wheels/tires without any issues in how to glue on tires or even if they will work. We already know the Scaleauto Comp3 tires work great on our track. So looking forward to this series.
The details about the wheels/tires can be viewed on Scaleauto’s Facebook page.

Randy and All,
The wheels/tires will be available in Europe in one week and in the States when Alan orders them. They have already been manufactured and are just waiting for distributors to order and receive them. I will update everyone once they are available. We are still four months away so I am not too worried. You can still run your car with the stock shore 30 tires to get it set up and running. The foam tires will only improve things.

I just ordered four pairs of the new Scaleauto SC-2021 wheels/tires from Cric Crac – currently the only place that has them. Not surprising since Cric Crac is the retail face of Scaleauto. Looking forward to getting them in and seeing how they work. If they are anything like their 1/24 counterparts they will be fantastic! I can’t wait for this series.

Mark – Before I update the rules with the new wheel/tire selection I want to confirm that they will work as I hope they will. Once I have some laps with them I will update the rules with the exact wheel/tire spec.
The only bearings that are allowed are the stock closed bearings.
Lubricants? Use what you have. No need for rules regarding lubricants at this time.

The new Scaleauto RevoSlot wheels/tires have arrived. I will be testing them over the next few weeks to see how they perform and will update everyone on this forum. Can’t wait to try them.

OH…and is there anything special that needs to be done to true these? I see that the RC tire truers use a blade instead of a grinding surface.
In my 1/24 days, we never trued foam tires…you bought them the diameter you wanted, then installed and ran them at speeds up to 70 mph, so they were true out of the canister. But that was a really long time ago, now…

Ugh…use care when ordering. My brain seized and I ordered the tires identified in the currently posted rules (RS-204) even though I KNEW we were supposed to be getting the Scale-Auto tires shown above. A case of old-brain disease. That’s why I was hoping Marty’s tires didn’t have the red stripe today, because neither do mine! 🙂
Oh well…I rarely trust my brain any more, and here’s yet another reason to let it out to pasture!! At least I have a few months to rectify this issue. Anyone want some Revo Slot foams?

After running both shore 30 and shore 25 people I found that the shore 25 tires provided better grip and did not show any excess wear. I have eight pairs of these shore 25 tires arriving Friday and will have them with me at the track on Saturday. I will arrive early so people have time to true up a pair before we race.
