been looking at tire lathes,what kind seems to work the best? thanks :thumbsup:

I have an Integy Autocut, no problems yet and easy to use. Picked up a 1/10 arbor from RC for Less. Works well!

Yes they are good, Selling out because track closed I have an autocut integy for sale $150 only cut a few sets of tires.

i have a team cobra deluxe ac truer that i use and it works good. team cobra is a company who has been around in radio control for a long time. i would not be afraid of purchasing anything from them. they have good products. if u like u can check them out on there website. http://www.teamcobra.com/cobra/tirelathes.htm

Stay away from the RD logics tire lathe they are junk. Customer service people there are idiots. I had ordered the auto lathe and aked for 1/10 pan car hubs they had no clue what a pan car was and shipped touring car arbors. After 3 months the auto feed quit working and the pan car sarbors had to be modified to fit. The only reason I bought this one is that the size makes its easier to travel with.


I'd go with Cobra. I have had mine for over 10 years. It is a little bigger but it works great. Hust build a box around it to collect the rubber.

i totally agree i have the larger cobra lathe and it is harder to haul but cuts great and accurate goog product

cobra lathes works great they are a little bit bigger and heavier but they cut true and accurate great product

If you would like the best tire truer it will have to be the Hudy part #HUD102003

I have a cobra AC truer but the Hudy is a lot better

I have also used a Ofna and a Corally But with this you have to cut the tires twice to get to the size you want

I have a cobra deluxe ac... used it for years and only complaint I had is the drum loading up when cutting.... I finally modified mine to accept the Integy blade and it cuts VERY nice and even, even on the harder tires where the drum loaded up and smoked alot.

I bought a tungsten carbide bit that was about 3/8 diameter and it fit right where the drum sanding bit was. It will even cut through red foam with a little effort and smoke.

Still love my old Maxmod! Wish they'd bring those back. Bulky, but true and dependable!
