The order in the workshop starts with having each tyre in its place
When working with different compounds, durometers, and tyre profiles, disorganisation is the silent enemy of the preparer. The SC-5071B tyre storage box from Scaleauto, in its characteristic yellow colour, is the practical answer to that problem: a compact container, identifiable at a glance and specifically designed to store and transport rubber tyres in the world of slot.
Features and function
- Dimensions: 60 x 70 x 18 mm, a manageable format that takes up just the right amount of space in the case or on the workshop shelf.
- Yellow colour: facilitates quick identification among several boxes of different references or compounds.
- Specific use: designed to store slot rubber tyres, protecting them from dust, light, and deformation due to pressure.
- Reference: SC-5071B, from the Scaleauto workshop accessories line.
Why it matters to keep tyres well
Rubber tyres for slot are sensitive: contact with greasy surfaces, accumulated dust, or pressure from other objects can alter their geometry or degrade the compound. Storing them in a specific box like this is not a whim; it is part of the preparation process. A well-preserved tyre mounts cleanly on the rim, provides consistent traction, and does not introduce unforeseen variables into the setup.
Ideal for…
- Club competitors who handle several sets of tyres per session.
- Preparers who want to quickly distinguish compounds by box colour.
- Enthusiasts looking to keep the workshop tidy and consumables in perfect condition.
