I had thought of that(RC cars) but what if the tires don't fit the rims or are otherwise not working even if they are 1/8 scale?Thanks for the web page tip too,I'll give them a hollar.

Suggest you repeat your question on the 'large scale cars' forum at

www.scalemotorcars.com

they are very helpful guys and I'm sure someone can come up with something.

how to replace tires to a long out of production kit
Posted by jpolacchi on Thursday, December 3, 2009 8:05 PM
I have a very old 1/8 scale kit that was discontinued back in the early 80's.Actually, the manufacturer of the kit went out of business/bankrupt, or whatever you want to call it and the kit has never seen a re-release since then and probably won't ever.The kit is a 1/8 scale Entex kit,the 935 RSR Porsche (racing Porsche 1972-1974).The kit is a bit rough,but considering the $$$ it costs to buy this kit in really good condition,I couldn't pass it up.I am missing all 4 tires to it,and I don't know where to find 1/8 scale rubber tires that will fit the rims that came with the kit.Does anyone have any ideas?
