I don't race on Scalextric, so I am only blowing breeze, but I would have thought that the softer Slot.it rubbers
ie F22, N22 and N18 would be quite effective, and probably better than P6
- They give decent grip, - choose your particular poison, and the N series are almost as simple to true as urethanes.
The F22 gives excellent grip on plastic, but is a "dogs dump" to true. Sloooooooow takes on new meaning.
I'd be interested to learn what some regular Scaley Sport users say about the idea above.
Top Down - Depending on which Scaleys you race, I would have thought that these days, MOST Scalex rims would roughly follow the convention that most alloy wheel makers use
eg and 8mm wide, 16mm rim will have a centre of 5 - 5,5mm wide, and shoulders stepped down about 1.1mm.
That sort of numbers allows some basic NSR and Slot.it and Sideways 19 x 10mm / 20 x 10mm tyres to fit most Scaley rims.
Same principle for the 17 x 10mm rims, with the centre being about 7mm wide, and the same 1.1mm step down to the shoulders.
