Testing a new tire truer protype.. .The Track Pro TT1a Tire Truer/Cleaner
Nap from NP Labs sent me his latest prototype of a tire truer/cleaner that he is hoping to bring to market. It works with 1/43, 1/32 and 1/24/1/25 scale slot cars. This is a basic overview and some feedback for Nap to consider.
It is not a tire truer in the sense of removing wheels and tire form your car and trueing them. It is really for light trueing/scuffing and cleaning tires.
Comiing to the market at under $50, it wiill meet the needs of the home racer.
Check it out! It is great to see people developing tools for the home slot car racer.

Part 2 of the Scratch Build Slot Car for the HRW Showdown Proxy in the Land Barge class. We are adding detail to the body so it looks like a proper 1963 Ford Galaxie NASCAR! Decals are not difficult if you take your time. I quite enjoyed the process. Next up to get the body mounted, interior completed and the car tuned! #slotcars #slotcarracing #analogslotcars #carreraslotcartrack #coffeeandslo...

How to build Slot Car Track Lap Counting Hardware!
Great Track! Thanks. What material does he use for the sidewalls. PVC foam core perhaps?
New to your channel. How did you connect the controller to your track? Do you have a video that shows how you did it?
That old Ford stock car is bad ass!!
Good stuff Mr.Ford. I burnt out a NSR motor about a week ago. Shot can that came in my GT40 , being that it was done , I went into it. Dirt and dust was the killer being my set up is on the floor. I cleaned it out , but one side the contact brush was worn-out more than the other , but it ran fine . Truth be told , better than before , but I'm still getting that Predators 25k Ball B motor. Thanks for the info .
Motors are cheap and easy upgrade. The 25kBB is fast and smooth.
Love it, simply and effective :)
Yes, Nap created a nice design.
This truer uses standard 5" self-adhesive backed sanding discs. You can cut them in half for dual grit readiness. The consumables costs are very low. The included squeeze bottle is provided to place droplets of water or isopropyl alcohol on the cloth and sandpaper. It acts as a lubricant that significantly reduces the strain on the motor and gears. It also helps keep any tire dust from dispersing. And of course it enhances cleaning and truing.
Enjoy your holiday :)
We are in California.. to bad it doesn’t line up with your trip! We could have raced together!!
@@twolinesslotcars 😒 would have been cool
Well done Marty!
Thanks!!
Safe travels enjoy the vacation
Thanks Atlanta!

Thank you! Will do!
Enjoy your vacation Marty 🤗 and the wedding 👍
Thanks! 😃
Hat no glasses is a curveball in the game of hat or hairgel!! Great gadget !

Would this eliminate the need for carrera jumper cables for building longer tracks?
No, you would still need jumpers. About every 30 feet works for me.
@@twolinesslotcars cheers. If running 6 cars on digital with a couple of lane changers at which point do you need jumpers?
@@llewellynwepener3389 if you are under 30 feet/ 10 meters lane length.. no jumpers. Even with 6 cars.. I had no problems.. but when we went to jumped to 60’/18 meters we noticed that cars would slow down…
Such a beuatiful car. I nearly struggled to get one of these. Luckily I got the last one from all the dealers here. At 4:30 you said, that you do not have shelf queens and run all your slot cars. Yes, thats what they are made for but i always have to force myself not to just put it on the shelf because they are so beautiful, especially when they are new...
I presently have two cars I have yet to open and run.. I will eventually get to them. The running joke is “no shelf queens!” But the other running joke is “no more cars!!” I can’t seem to live up to that one 😂
@@twolinesslotcars 😅👍 yes, i have given up fighting it.
G'day Marty, brilliant idea 😮😮grouse
Thanks 👍
I love it Marty thanks for showing us and running through it this is very impressive 🤟🤟
Thanks Pat! It can be a useful tool for the home racer.
@@twolinesslotcars well I’m a home racer for sure man tell the supplier once he has tweaked it I’ll definitely get one 🤟🤟thanks again marty
Looks great for some home racing 👏👏👏
It does!
I'm totally down for one of these. This looks so well thought out.
It is a nice design. It will be priced right too!
Question.. How does he stop 1/32 and smaller from skewing from one side to the other, which can happen from time to time (though that would need to be corrected itself)
The angle of the sanding pad seems to prevent the car from moving side to side.
I like it.. nice design. Count me in🤜
I will let you know when Nap gets it finalized and finds a retailer to sell.
@@twolinesslotcars thanks Marty 🤜
Nice to see some innovative thinking and design for a slot car product. I like the concept...versatile and easy to use. I'd buy one!
Thanks John. I agree, it is simple, resourceful and is priced right.
Awesome Marty! Im definitely getting this! This is perfect for my home racing! Cant wait when ya post the link! Count me in!! 😎 Thank you so much. 🫡
Nobody.. i will let you know when it becomes available. He hopes very soon.
That product looks like it has a lot of potential
Gene, it is not for everyone.. but it does fit the need of the home racer who just wants to scuff the tires to improve performance. The tire cleaning is great as well.
Very smart what alkahol do you put on
90% if you can find it.
Water works well too. The instructions describe this. The water or any isopropyl alcohol, act like a lubricant to reduce motor and gear strain, enhance cleaning and truing and keep the rubber dust from landing on the track.
would work great for me !! i want one.
I will post when it becomes available.
That's cool, don't know about sanding tires down on the track though making the rubber get all over your track? I would put it on a powered track section on a table... I do like the tire cleaner if set up like I just spoke of it would be good for racers to quickly clean there tires. Thanks for showing this.
Nothing a little hand vac can't clean if its ever an issue. 😉
I agree, I have a track piece set up for a tire cleaner, that is what I placed it on. Great thought BS.. I power my cleaning station with a 9volt battery..
If you add droplets of water or isopropyl alcohol using the included squeeze bottle, the rubber remains on the sanding disc. You can also place one of the included cloths behind the truer.
@@NP-co7kj great job Nap!
Very cool slot car gadget. Priced well enough that a lot of us will buy one just to support support a fellow Slot Brother and it will allow others to an very useful slot car tool that would normally be out of budget. Very Cool! Thank you Marty for doing the Saturday morning review.
Handy tool if you don’t want to invest in a more advanced truer. How far down the tuning hole are you willing to go? $40 is not that far.
Nice and simple- I'd buy one!
Right on!
Hi Marty, thanks for sharing. The disadvantage of these type of tire truers is from my perspektive, that they put to much strain on the gears of the transmission as a tire truer. The advantage of that tire truer is, that you can also clean the tires easily. Nice weekend!
Agreed, can be tough on the motor too.
@@twolinesslotcars yes, absolutely
Hi. To solve the strain issue, you just put some water or isopropyl alcohol droplets, right on the sandpaper where the tires touch. It acts as a lubricant, significantly reducing the work required by the motor and gears.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching Gary!
That's a nice truer.I would buy one, But I need one for 1/24 scale cars. Make it to work for both scales. Where you don't have to buy two of them.
The final version will accommodate both 👍
Howdy😊🏎️🏎️🏎️
Good morning!
HAPPY SATURDAY FELLOW SLOTTERHEADS AND MARTY. Very interesting. A simple design. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Not everyone is in the market for a high end truer.. this fits the bill.
That is a awesome track!!!
Amazing layout!
@@twolinesslotcars certainly is, I may copy it, it looks like it has a nice flow to it!
Cheeers Marty. Hope you enjoyed your week off and yes you will need to purchase a new stand for all your cars - you’re a collector like Slot R. 🤣🤣🤣 Enjoy your chats. P.S I’ve been meaning to see the lion king musical for years in London! Maybe I need to make that trip.
Absolutely! 😂
I saw this on the livestream. Have you ever taken the next step and used microset followed by an airbrushed topcoat? It's fussy, but it'll look painted on.
I have not… I will need to learn more.. I am not really a modeler..
@@twolinesslotcars I'm eventually going to do a few videos on some techniques I know from the modelling/miniatures space. You can get some really good DIY results with minimal cost and effort.
Just watched the live now Marty ....was sleeping beside a lake in Latvia so no signal 🫢 super show and you have me soo excited to watch some of those proxy cars on Harry's track ....hopefully ile catch you 3am next week 😊
Sleep well my friend! No worries. Yes, should be a lot of fun to watch the proxy race!
