    I'm looking for slick tires for the 1/18 kyosho F40 lightweight. Anyone know where to find them?

    I've measured the rims:

    front: 26mmx14,5mm (hxw)
    rear: 26mmx18,5mm (hxw)

    overall height of the tires (not very important for fitment):

    front: 35mm
    rear: 36mm

    Best, Peter

    Thanks for the links. I know the first one but the slicks offered are of incorrect sizes. The second idea is interesting - cut to fit - but wouldn't work wit the Kyosho rims because they're not smooth on the outside.

    It does give me an idea though. I have slicks that are just one mm oversized. I could cut the tire to make it fit. I only hope the cut will not be very evident once glued together again.

    Any other leads?

    There are slicks @ scuderiamodelli. I didn't give you a link earlier because there are no sizes listed.
