I recently found an F190 in my dad's attic, he bought it back in '92, opened it up, then promptly got overwhelmed and let it sit. The tires got totally rotted out and beyond any sort of repair, and the wheels themselves have gone brittle to the point where I can't use them. Are you still making these tire prints, and do you have files for wheels? I was going to look into the Hiro Boy tires, but they went out of print as far as I've seen.

Yeah i know these problems too, still had the same problem and no solution as Tamiya does not offer spare parts for tires.
Yes i can print the tires, but actually i have no files for the wheels. I need to construct them in CAD first, this process can take a while as i`m not a CAD expert, but it is possible to do them.
I will send you a pm, just watch out at the right upperside of the page, you should get a notification there. ;)

Another option for selling the tires would be for you, or your friend Thomas, to sell the 3D tire files on one of the 3D file libraries online. That would save your time, printing and shipping. I know many of us are getting into 3D printing and just need somebody to design the part in CAD.

Selling of 3D data is maybe not the best idea. I think this issue was discussed in last time a several time here in the forum… ;)

I must agree, there was a discussion not long ago about that.

I have my eye on a small stash of Tamiya kits - perhaps I could have a PM too, please? Thanks!
