Following discussions with @petesscalefabshop over on the scalerc.org.uk forum we've concluded that to keep the @scalejs #RangeRoverClassic true to scale you need tyres with an outer diameter of 89-90mm. These are 1.55 Wranglers from RC4WD, they are the correct diameter but too wide and the tread is too aggressive. I'm going to try some 1.55 Falken Wildpeaks from RC4WD.

Wheelbase and track sorted on the @scalejs #rangeroverclassic Wheels have also arrived from #shapeways chassis from @gcmracing fits perfectly.

Treated myself to a new set of @prolineracing #superswampers for my #toyzuki @RC4WD #hilux Class 2 rig. With the possible exception of @pitbullxrc #rockbeasts I've yet to find a better multi-surface tyre.

The @scalejs #rangerover is coming together. Sits nicely on the #cmax chassis from @gcmracing and the @bowhouserc NC Yota 164 tuck under just right. Proper Range Rover Classic wheels to come which will sport @rc4wd #dickcepek fun country tyres.

One possible tyre choice for the @scalejs #rangeroverclassic @RC4WD #dickcepek 1.55 Fun Country stretched on 1.9 rims (rims to be replaced.)
