Guys, I have the McLaren MP4/2C in 1/12th.
I am looking for ideas on replacing the tires and wheels.
Any thoughts....

Re: McLaren MP4/2 Protar
JamesB makes replacement resin tire/wheel combinations for this kit under the El Oso work that he does. I have them and they are fantastic. Give him a shout.
If you have the white metal monocoque version, rubber tires would be pretty much out of the question anyway in my opinion so resin is a good way to go.
Best,
AJ

What happens with the original wheels and tyres?

That's probably thotoughly eplained smewhere in the forum.Joaquin wrote:What happens with the original wheels and tyres?
Basicly:
Tyres: wong size in general, plus fronts are 15 nches instead of 13. Rasised letter, besidees tyres can melt or crack.
Rims: bad fronts size, plus they DO melt in contact with "rubber"
That's it!
