Schumacher SupaStox GT Tires

[SteveM]

Does anyone know if there are any rubber tires available for a Schumacher SupaStox GT? All we have are the Contact RC foams which wear quite quickly and a set of rubber tires would be great.

Ore racing used to sell tyres on special wheels but no longer on their website.

Hi Steve ,

They are easy to make.

What you need is a set of Supastox wheels with the foam removed. ( I soaked them in acetone to remove the foam )

Sweep mini 5 spoke wheels type A. Dremel / remove the spokes so that your just left with the rim. You fit the rim over the Supastox wheels then glue up the tyres.

Best tyres are :

Shimizu Treaded Tyres (pr) for Tamiya Mini - Hard - for the front
Shimizu Treaded Tyres (pr) for Tamiya Mini - Soft - for the rear

Tyres are £8 a pair and the rims £5.50 so not that expensive for a set of tires that don`t chunk and last for ever.

97053

These are made up on JFT rims with sweep slicks. The Shimizu`s are much better on carpet.

Do you have a photo of the Shimuzi tyres fitted? Bet they look good with treaded rubber!
