Here's a little tip. Before truing begins, turn the motor on and take a magic marker and mark the tires from end to end as they turn so as to to "color" the surfaces. Then as you lower the tires onto the sandpaper, the magic marker/color will disappear and that enables you to watch exactly where the sandpaper is cutting the tires. So in this case (video) the left tire would have lost it's color first so you can see when the right one loses it's color, then you can visually see both would be at an equal diameter. Use this as a visual afterwards too as you cut the tires down to let's say a certain diameter you are trying to achieve. Hope this helps. I do this for my 1/24 foam tires with my Hudy machine. ALSO, I would keep the adjuster as close to center of the swingarm as possible, the drive belt can run properly underneath the adjuster arm.

I have the older version of this tyre truer, I have found that for some reason it takes more material off the right than the left! Also I fitted an in-line switch (like fitted to a table lamp) so switching off during truing is easier

I love the truer from overdrive. Greg Gaub also created a 3D printed reciprocator for this machine that works great. He sells the reciprocator as a set. He is the guy that hosts the world wide slotcar chat for those that might not know. A definite must in my opinion.

I bought one last year. It's a very basic machine, and works mostly as advertised, although mine won't true both tires to the same diameter at the same time. That requires manual intervention. It would be nice to have some kind of pointer & graduations on the feed screw that would allow you to dial up the exact same tire diameter repeatedly.

I haven't take time to diagnose the *minor* issue yet, and I don't want to slander the machine. One good guess is that sanding waste gets under the sanding plate. I'm a machinist, and I should spend some time with a dial indicator and find out if anything is out of parallel. One thing is very clever, which I don't think is mentioned in the manual, is that, as our host mentioned, there are top and bottom set screws (or grub screws if you're in the UK)... the bottom screw is for adjusting parallelism to the sanding plate groove.

Do they ship internationally and what price are they? This looks nice and simple. I would add some lubrication when sanding them.

@@thatslotcarguy I don't think I could afford one, looks good though similar to the swift 16.
