shadow_rusty Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I got annoyed looking for the right tyre in the printed out 2011 catalog. So, I did what any IT geek would do... Firstly I printed the .PDF using XPS document printer, then ran it through Document Imaging OCR to create a text file. Then I re-formatted it to a .CSV file, which allow me to make myself an excel spreadsheet with all of the MJK tyres in it. A big thanks to Andrew for giving me the knowledge that somtimes the 'right' tyre is not necessarly the 'best' tyre... So, armed with that knowledge, I then created a lookup table, so that I could narrow down the list of tyres to find the right tyre based on the rim Dimensions... Anyway, here's a screenshot... And for those of you who would like to use it themselves, MJK 2011 Catalog.xlsm, and MJK 2013 Catalog.xlsm Update: Online Version Now Available - MJK Tyre Selector - Google Sheets Version edit: You will need to enable macros for the auto lookup to work. edit 2: if there are no results, it means that there are no tyres within -5% and +10% of each variable edit 3: New 2013 Catalog released and spreadsheet has now been updated edit 4: Google Sheets version has now been released edit 5: Added adjustable Accuracy % to google sheets version Anyway, I hope you guys like it... ps. As the most recent catalog on the MJK website is from October 2011, if there have been any tyres released since then, I may not have them on my list...

Ember Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Nice work. There have been quite a few added since 2011, but not sure how many. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

shadow_rusty Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks Embs... If anyone can advise me of the details you see in the image above for any new tyres, I'll happily add it to the spreadsheet... Currently in the spreadsheet the last part number in each catagory is as below... Rear 1/32 tyres - '4273' Front 1/32 tyres - '4409' Rear 1/24 tyres - '4118' Front 1/24 tyres - '4303' Quote Stolen from SlotsNZ Team ABC Team Leader (Ambitious, But Crap) Home Track Threads - Shadow's Semi-Permanent Layout & Another Rug Racer & Proud of It & Gymkhana Test Track Car Collection Thread - My Car Collection Charts / Diagrams - MJK Tyre Selector / Slot.it 4wd Gearing / PoliCar Rollout / Rollout Chart Generator / SCX 4wd Rollout / Track Wiring with Brake on Track Call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeGas Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 OMG thanks very much, I have been trying to match up some new alloy rims and tyres for my DBR9 and tyres to suit so that I get the same end result, what a mission this will definitely help with that process. Thanks again you busy boy you.

Ember Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Armchair have the most up to date list that I know of. Or you could email the MJK boys, tell them what you've done and ask them for the missing information. I know they've released tyres for the Torana and SCX 'Cuda since the 2011 list was done. I'm sure there were others in 2012 as well. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

shadow_rusty Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 THanks guys... Embs, Thanks for that... Both of those cars are already on the list... So it's possible the catalog has been updated, but the year on the front page wasn't... To be sure, I've emailed MJK to see if they have a current catalog...

Ember Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 That's always a possibility. And while you're at it, ask them when the XB tyres are due out. Quote Computers.

ZeGas Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) just been playing with it and the table isn't populating, is there some trick I don't know about or do you have to be super accurate with measurements I put in 14 rim dia and 8.5 step and nothing appears in the table although this is the dims for the vanquish on tab2 of the spreadsheet. Yes I have check autocalc is on. Right just reread your first post 5% to 10% ignore above, sorry to all for lack of reading ability.

shadow_rusty Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Do you have macros enabled? Edit: I've put a -5% / +10% tollerances into the formulaes already, but I have noticed that some MJK dimensions are a little off when compared to real life... My pic above shows the real life size of a Camaro rim, and the MJK specs for the same rim. Thankfully, the MJK tyre fits just fine... Unfortunately, you will need to fill in all of the fields too... i.e. Rim Diameter, Rim Width, Step Diameter, Step Width on the left, or Rim Diameter & Step Width on the right... But for 14 and 8.5 I get 2 results... 4201 - Suit Vanquish Rear - 14,13,15.7,8.5,21.6,14 4256 - Suit Carrera Capri RS3100 - 14.2,12,17.6,8.2,20,13 Edited February 28, 2013 by shadow_rusty Quote Stolen from SlotsNZ Team ABC Team Leader (Ambitious, But Crap) Home Track Threads - Shadow's Semi-Permanent Layout & Another Rug Racer & Proud of It & Gymkhana Test Track Car Collection Thread - My Car Collection Charts / Diagrams - MJK Tyre Selector / Slot.it 4wd Gearing / PoliCar Rollout / Rollout Chart Generator / SCX 4wd Rollout / Track Wiring with Brake on Track Call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeGas Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks for your time in doing this and keeping it updated S.R. Been meaning to ask, can the tabs be copied and still stay live, I have tried but they loose the formulas. I want to copy each tab so that I have it set up for each car. It's not a biggie as I can use the original and copy once I have the data imputed. Just a Q of curiosity really.

shadow_rusty Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 The formulas are linked to the 'code' on the tab... If you right click on the 'Lookup' tab, and go 'View Code', you can copy the code to a new tab and it should work... If you can't get it to work, let me know and I'll build you a special sheet...

shadow_rusty Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) So, I've been getting sick of 'finding' my spreadsheet, and just wishing for a version which works 'anywhere', so I took the challenge to migrate this to Google Sheets. Due to the embedded coding in the .XLSX version, this was definitely a challenge for me. Interestingly though, Google Sheets is actually easier to implement the auto lookup... Note: This is a multi user con-current spreadsheet, so if it's in use, please be patient and try not to upset anyone...

shadow_rusty Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 As seen here, there are least 6x sets of tyres that are available that are not in the catalog available on MJK's site. 2 sets of those had their stats on the ArmChair site (thanks guys), but the others are not. Unfortunately, until MJK updates their site, I won't be able to do much more. As Wix posted about these in 2016, I'm not very hopeful... :( Quote Stolen from SlotsNZ Team ABC Team Leader (Ambitious, But Crap) Home Track Threads - Shadow's Semi-Permanent Layout & Another Rug Racer & Proud of It & Gymkhana Test Track Car Collection Thread - My Car Collection Charts / Diagrams - MJK Tyre Selector / Slot.it 4wd Gearing / PoliCar Rollout / Rollout Chart Generator / SCX 4wd Rollout / Track Wiring with Brake on Track Call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
