Thanks Jon for sending on the Tire Razor, kit, and bushings.

For aluminium 1/32 wheels (which I generally use, rather than plastic) I will probably use an old Pioneer axle I have with the Pioneer bronze bushes. These have the advantage of very close tolerances (more so even than Slot.It bushings - I can't get a SCC alignment tool for the Slot.It bushes through them, maybe though the one for SCC bushes works?) and also a large oil hole on each bush that will allow me to provide the copious lubrication that your video recommends. The axles are unknurled so the aluminium wheels should fit straight in and will secure with grub screws.

Thanks Jon!

The Tire Razor arrived safely this week complete with the Kit

I haven't had a chance to try it yet (I've been away in Sydney since Tuesday night and found it here when I returned home today) but it all looks good.

EDIT: Here's a photo of the Tire Razor with 1/24 Kit. The power supply in the box next to it arrived from Armchair Racer in Sydney this week.

Jon,
I too need the 1/24 Kit. Now what were you saying about doing the Silicone SuperTires? Seems my proxy cars are getting hammer because of what I'm thinking is a tire issue. My cars with YellowDogs are doing OK. My bad I see there is a thread on truing SuperTires. Hopefully this will help my issues.
