Foam tyres for Procat retro build...
Posted: Tue Feb 11, 2025 3:06 am
Ok, this one will show you how old I am! A long time ago I used to race a Procat on carpet in the early 90's at what was Ilkeston model car club and is now Broxtowe (UK). I am looking to build a replica of my car from back then, but I need to find the right foam tyres. I believe they were called lilacs and had a grey stripe through the middle. They were 1/8th scale circuit car rears that we cut at 1/3rd of the way across to give a front and a rear and glued them onto the rims. Any ideas where I might be able to find these tyres (I know its a long shot!) or something very similar? Many thanks…
