Since the discontinuation of the Australian “Tyre True” last year, we have been unable to supply a tyre lathe for fixed axle (plastic wheel) cars all year.
I am very pleased to fill this gap, as we have now been appointed as dealers for Overdrive Slot Products Germany. Overdrive are best known internationally for their wide range of lighting kits – of which I have imported some samples, but they also manufacture the RSM3 tyre lathe.
This tyre lathe does something clever that no other single lathe can do.

RSM3 tyre lathe by Overdrive. Comes fitted with alloy arm with V-cutouts for truing of "fixed wheel" axles such as Scalextric, Ninco Sport/Ninco1, FLY and other makes which have the plastic wheels and the gear fixed to the axle, and with nylon of brass axle bushes.
This can be swapped out with the optional 2nd arm which contains a ball bearing race into which you can mount a Slot.it axle and then fix alloy wheels on either end to enable truing of all sizes of wheel with grub screws.
This makes the RSM3 a lathe a very clever tool for most kinds of car and axle.
