Hey guys and gals,

Got into racing about a year ago and I am at a point where it would make sense for me to purchase a tire truer. What are the best "bang for the bucks" truers out there? I run both 1/10th and 1/12th indoors.

Thanks for any information.

The Itegy AutoTrueCut is a very nice, affordable truer. I had one for a few years and it worked perfectly.

If you want the best bang for the buck, check out the Hudy.

+1 for the integy auto tire truer

i got mine a few months ago and its very easy to use. for the price, its a good deal because it comes with a nice aluminum case and extra cutting bits (you can make your own out of steel saw blades) you do have to purchase arbors, so that's another $20 each for 1/10 and 1/12 rims. i got the integy 1/10 touring arbor and its also a nice item for the price. i think hudy and ofna arbors will also fit.

some guys modified the cutting bit with a hudy carbide cutting bit. more info can be found in the nitro onroad thread about tire truers ...

you may read some cons about the integy truer, mainly the motor may be too weak to true 1/8 tires. but from your post, you'll be fine with 1/12 and 1/10 tires hope this helps

I've used 2


the Ofna fully automatic 12vdc .... mine broke. (easy to use)

the Hudy hand crank 110vac ( small , uses house current, my favorite has been flawless )



guess it depends on you application. but I'd recomend the Hudy.

The 110V would be awsome. I'll definetly check out the Hudy before I make my decision.

I don't really know if I need to go automatic since the volume of tires I go through is fairly light (club racer - novice). This might change


Thanks again

I personally appreciate being to control the cut so my choce would be the Integy Team True Cut

Hi, I read the motor is a little weak for 1/8 tire on the integy tire truer, but I only use it on 1/10 tire. Will the motor is got blogged down when truing 1/10 tire? I know Hudy is good , but $450 is bit too much. I can get a Integy for around $200 plus a Hudy carbide cutter.

The motor on the Itegy does have a hard time cutting large amounts off 1:10 tires, at least with the stock blade. You would have to make several passes to get tires to the correct size.

The Hudy truer can take a 64mm tire and cut it to 55mm in one pass, and the cut will be perfectly clean, and it does not bogg down at all.

Another vote for the integy truer. And if the Hudy carbide works well, I will never want another truer... I don't think. At our shop we have a 35 amp power supply that is in our truer station, my motor only boggs down on really deep cuts. I bought mine used off this forum and have not replaced the blade yet. I am sure that the bog will go away once the Hudy carbide is installed.

the hudy may be the most expensive, but the only complaint that I have ever seen about the hudy is that it is expensive.
