NitroJunky Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Having spent the last few years building 1/24th scale trucks and cars and some 16th scale dragsters ive decided to have a change in scale for a while. So ive bought me 1/8th T Bucket, 1/8th 67 Corvette and the 1/12th Mustang. Ive got plans for the bucket and ideas for the Mustang but its the Corvette i am not happy with. I want to try and turn it into a more updated style vette rather than the classis 67 look. Would anyone know if you can buy suitable 1/8th scale wheels and tyres? When ive searched the net and looked on ebay all i can find is replacement wheels for R/C trucks etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pharoah Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 There's a company that sells resin tires and wheels in 1/8th,but I can't think of the name right now. They're pretty expensive though. A 1/8th scale 67 Corvette? Do you mean the 1965 from Revell/Monogram? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPNM Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I've got a couple 1/8th slicks (not resin) similar to the ones in the left side pic. I got them off eBay from a seller who sold them as candle holders. They would be a lot cheaper than the R/C tires but not as exact.
