Has anybody received any word on their orders yet? I just want to make sure I haven't missed out. After talking with Cheryl I've been checking email and Paypal, but haven't seen anything yet.

info@wizzardho.com guys, we need to show our support in the way of requesting and maybe pre-ordering wheels and gears. there is a possibility that we can get some 15 tooth bronze gears for our pancake builds. I am sending an Eric Hirt bronze gear, an aluminum (manufacturer unknown) gear and some original aurora crown gears so that precise measurements can be taken in order to get the product we want. if anyone has specific measurements data that they prefer, please share it here and email Wizzard with those stats as well. RC is getting ready to make sili-foam tires and we might convince him to make drag tires for us. it seems that .500 (maybe .510) are the largest and .200 is the narrowest width he will consider. we may be able to get increments of .470, .480, .490, .500 if there is enough interest/demand. but, we all must contact Wizzard and express our desires for these products. they are really busy making road race stuff and they are willing to try and fit drag race stuff in as well. in addition to sharing your wants and desires with them, an indication of how many of each product will go a long way in determining if it is profitable for them. the Lincolns are good people and want to help all sorts of racers, but at the same time they are running a business which needs to show profit in all that they undertake. if we are to get them started on these (and maybe other products in future) now, we MUST express our interest and dedication in purchasing NOW. everyone needs to participate in order to show our sincerity. if you need direct contact info more than just the email I posted, PM me and I can send you the link for their site which has phone numbers as well as products. I trust that all the determined folks here will get behind this and show that we are more than just talk. without mentioning who ..... I want everyone to know there is someone in our midst's with more influence at WIZZARD and has the ears of those good Lincoln family folks who has been pushing for these items and has expressed that we need to contact WIZZARD directly, each of us. I can not say this enough times or with enough vigor. please contact them. be safe Al thank you for the heads up on this! Jeff I do talk to Cheryl At Wizard a lot, When I called this week first thing she said, she knows my voice said no tires no gears and don't plain to have them any time soon 😨. I do know a Master retired Machinist who makes gears for slot cars also a Master at making the tires we need for drag racing, I own and run his tires. Rick DeRosa quicker_us@yahoo.com Lucky Bob sells his tires also. Maybe reach out to Rick DeRosa I already have a standing order with him, He also builds Steve Geary-DrHOs tire. |

No word from Wizzard here and I put a 10 set order in the same time the others did, along with other parts.
If there is someone else that we can contact I suggest we do so.

Dave The Green siifoams I sent you are made by Rick DeRosa quicker_us@yahoo.com Lucky Bob sells his tires also. Maybe reach out to Rick DeRosa Rick also is a Master Machinist/Racer at one of the biggest events in Ohio, Maybe he will build the 15 tooth gears for us 🤔 I own and run Ricks tires.

I'm in no hurry. I just wondered if anyone had heard anything. I was really making sure I haven't missed anything. I will give them some more time. I was trying to help further the cause as was requested, but I'm used to stuff like this falling through.

I have what I need for now but since the suppliers do not seem to be worried about us we have to look at other sources. I also put an order in for 10 pairs hoping it would spur some action but nothing so far. |

When I put my order in it didn't sound like it would be a fast turnaround. They were still working on getting the materials they need to make the taller size. Im sure will hear something soon.
I did reach out to someone who makes tires to see if they could supply taller tires. If they are intrested ill have them join here.

good morning my good friends.
yes, I have received some sample silifoam tires from Wizzard.
they are nice tires and I have advised Cheryl of that.
she says they are ramping up another batch real soon and asks everyone to be patient.
as far as the gears ..... RC is still trying to get a price because the quantity isn't going to be as large as their usual order for other gears that are already established.
just to share, when having a new product produced the initial set up is the most expensive part of the equation.
RC has a sample of the only Eric Hirt 15 tooth bronze gear that I have left and I think has submitted it to the gear manufacturer.
so, it appears he is still waiting for a price before committing.
I have requested to be included in the price discussion so we can make an intelligent choice about whether we can afford them.
I am sorry that I cannot provide a timeline for the tires, but Cheryl says they are on the list to get to ASAP.
thank you, everyone who has contacted Wizzard with your desires.
Cheryl remembers each request as well as having them in her system.
she will reach out to everyone once they are readily available.
in the meantime, see if Lucky Bob is going to get any .500 silifoams from Rick DeRosa.
I have an order in there as well and last time I called, they were still waiting.
and I have no problem with Rick making 15 tooth bronze gears, I would certainly buy some of them.
so, if someone has a more direct contact with Rick it might be good to reach out as I did with Wizzard.
