RC Tire Machine

Professional-Grade Tire Mounting & Truing

An RC Tire Machine is a precision tool designed for serious racers and hobbyists who demand perfectly balanced and trued tires. Whether you are mounting rubber tires for a 1/10 scale buggy or truing foam tires for a 1/12 scale pan car, a dedicated tire machine ensures maximum contact patch and eliminates the vibrations that can compromise handling at high speeds.

Key Functions

• Precision Truing: For foam tire racers, a tire machine (or “lathe”) allows you to shave the tire to a specific diameter and ensures it is perfectly round, which is critical for consistent ride height and cornering.
  
• Effortless Mounting: For rubber tires, specialized mounting machines help stretch and seat the tire bead onto the rim evenly, making the gluing process cleaner and more secure.
  
• Balanced Performance: By ensuring the tire surface is uniform, these machines reduce drivetrain strain and improve overall traction on both carpet and dirt tracks.

Professional Features

Our selection includes high-end manual and automatic machines built for the pits:

• Micro-Adjustable Cutters: Features carbide or diamond-tipped bits for a smooth, glass-like finish on foam surfaces.
  
• Multi-Adapter Compatibility: Swappable hubs to accommodate 1/12 scale, 1/10 scale, and even 1/8 scale wheel dimensions.
  
• Portable Power: Designed to run on standard 12V DC power supplies, making them easy to use track-side.
  
• Dust Collection: Many truing machines include vacuum ports or shrouds to keep your pit area clean from foam “dust.”
