    Anyone with a situ. like Erick – if you need to True tires on stock Carrera or Scaley wheels/axles; you can use the club’s  “Tire Razor”.

    To use it, first find a red Lure case (in the left side white pit boxes) containing:

    a) a pulley to attach to the middle of the stock axle

    b) O-rings to use as Drive Belts from the truer’s motor to the pulley on the axle

    c)  Allen wrenches that fit the grub in the Pulley

    For more details, search for various instructions online such as this.

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
