Red 5 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hi guys , I`m slowly getting various after market bits together for the Tamiya 1/12 McLaren mp4/6 that I`ve had for a long while , I have a few questions and if anyone could help it would be much appreciated . I`ve searched google but could not find the info I need . Tyres - would the tyres from the 1/12 Tamiya Ferrari 641/2 be the same dimensions as the Tamiya mp4/6 , being 1990 and 1991 I`m guessing they would be the same but need a 2nd or 3rd opinion ? ( original kit -tyres are still sealed but may need to be replaced ) Online reference photo`s for the mp4/6 - mainly chassis and cf parts , found loads for the Tamiya mp4/6 builds but not for the real car , Cheers Red 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 The tyres are the same but for some reason when I switched them over from car to car they did look very weird also i would recommend that you buy a set of resin tyres as the tamiya ones do like to flatten if they are sitting in the same position for more than 10 seconds because of the weight of the finished car or you could just prop the car up from underneath at the same height so it can't squish them Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
