Description
The CG Slotcars Modular Tire Truing System is unlike any other slot car tire truer available. The Modular Tire Truing System consists of a Base Module plus several optional modules that add functionality to the base module. The unique modular design lets slot car racers purchase only the functionality they need. Because the individual modules are designed as part of a complete system, they work together seamlessly. At the heart of this system is the Base Module which provides everything needed to perform basic tire truing. For many racers, the Base Module is all that will be required. More advanced racers and tuners may decide to extend the functionality of the Base Module by adding one or more Optional Modules. Features for the Base Module and Optional Modules are described below.
The CGTM01 Base Module (see product photo) provides everything needed to true urethane and rubber tires used on 1:32 and 1:24 RTR cars with press-on wheels with tires up to 31.50mm in diameter. Designed to be easy-to-use, the Base Module includes a host of features described below.
Note: Two of the three screws securing the motor to the swingarm now have a phillips head screw instead of hex head screws shown in the product photo. The two phillips head screws are loosened to install/replace the drive belt. The hex head screws required a 7/64″ hex driver which can be difficult to find. Phillips screwdrivers are much more commonly available.
Here is a video made by Harry Wise that provides an overview of the Tire Machine.

Note: To power the Base Module, you will need an external variable DC power supply (not included). Minimum recommend specs are 0-12VDC with a minimum rated output of 5A. Digital readouts for voltage and current recommended.
- CNC Machined Aluminum Base Plate The base plate provides a sturdy mounting platform for all tire truer components and optional accessories. Rubber feet isolate vibration during sanding operations.
