The order in the pit starts with having each tyre in its place
Any club racer or preparer who works with a certain level of seriousness knows that rubber tyres are delicate components: they accumulate dust, deform if stored improperly, and can lose grip before running if not maintained correctly. The Scaleauto SC-5071A tyre storage box precisely addresses this issue with a simple, practical accessory of specific dimensions to fit wherever you need it.
Function and features
The box is made of rubber and has dimensions of 60 x 70 x 18 mm in grey. Its rubber construction serves a dual purpose: it protects the contents from impacts and vibrations during transport, while also not scratching or damaging the tyres it holds inside. The compact format makes it easy to fit into any toolbox, material box, or pit backpack.
Organisation in the workshop and during competition
When you bring several sets of tyres to a competition event —hard, soft, profiled, slick— disorganisation can cost you time and lead to mistakes during wheel changes. Having each set in its own labelled box streamlines the work between heats and reduces the risk of mixing references. This Scaleauto box is a basic accessory for those who apply real competition methodology to their hobby.
Ideal for…
- Club racers managing multiple sets of tyres per session.
- Preparers and tuners working with different hardnesses and profiles.
- Enthusiasts who want to keep their workshop organised and components ready.
- Use in the pit during competition days or practice sessions.
Frequently asked questions
What is the capacity of the box for storing tyres?
The dimensions are 60 x 70 x 18 mm. Scaleauto does not specify an exact number of tyres, as it depends on the size and format of each reference. In any case, the format is designed to hold a complete set or several loose tyres of scale 1/32.
Can the rubber material damage the stored tyres?
No. The rubber acts as a cushioning material and does not transfer residues or agents that affect the composition of slot tyres during normal storage.
Can multiple boxes be stacked?
Scaleauto does not specify whether the design allows for stacking with interlocking. The shape and rubber material allow them to be placed together, although not necessarily with a rigid fit between them.
Is it compatible with tyres from other brands besides Scaleauto?
Yes. It is a generic storage accessory. It can be used to store tyres from any brand as long as the physical dimensions of the components fit inside the box.
