What does a tire truer do?
|
it allows you to cut down the size of the tyre to a desired diameter
|
Does anyone know if a 14amp will work?
|
Didn't it come with instructions and recommend a power supply?
I'd say try it, the worst that can happen is you will blow a fuse (if the supply has a fuse that is...) |
For the Hudy truer, minimum of 25 amp is required and 35 amp ideal. A 14 amp won't even get it started.
|
No it didnt come with any instructions.
Wow thats a big power supply!! What about the Radio Shack PS's.They have a 25 amp for 100.00,has anyone had any experiences with it? |
Try contacting rdlogics about it, Motorman might be able to help try pm him.
|
Duh!!Why didnt I think of that.Thanks for the input.

If you can get your hands on one, go for the Rivergate 30A. That thing seriously motors through the toughest compounds!! |
I just got an email from Rd Logics.It only needs 12v.
|
Volts are not the issue, it is the Amps that give you the punch. Just like racing an electric car. Oh wait, this is the nitro forum:)
|
Yup.. you need to ask how many AMP power supply you need to use it.

I have traveled a bunch and used these PS for everything from truing tires to charging batteries to running stereos and they have worked like a champ.
