Hey Jeff: The deepest I can etch is .01" or 1/4" in 1/25th scale. This is probably not deep enuff for most off-road tires. But I can see if it's possible to go deeper with softer metal. hi Alan!! 0.01 thick max ?? what are you took as material and etching?? here in my side I use brass with ferric chloride and I etch up to 0.050 tick without problem. just currious yours

Hi Sebastian I normally use nickle because it is more rigid & can be polished to look like chrome. Softer metal, like brass, should go deeper. I'll have to try it.

exact.. when I use something harder . to go to the same deep it took A LOT more time. but you know that more time the material is in the etching solution less control you have. that's why I convert my etching to brass.
with etching solution do you use?? I took ferric chloride and work good with the brass.
