Default Pitbull 1.55 Growler A/T Foams?

So I ordered up a set of the 1.55 Growlers for my TF2 but to my surprise when I received the set from CKRC the foams although I guess you can call them dual stage look nothing like the advertised dual stage foams.

The ones I received were all gray. Soft outers and firm inners. Colors are different I'm just wondering why. Has anyone else received theirs with nothing but 4 gray foams instead of their advertised greenish looking outers?

I got the grey ones too. I assume the green ones you're referring to are prototypes that were given to Team drivers to test.

Ahh I see...haven't even mounted them to any 1.55 beadlocks yet but I have read that the new bead design holds with the stock 1.55 rc4wd Steelies?

Not a huge fan of the steelies as I already have them in 1.9 and 2.2. Thinking about just getting rid of them in favor of something a bit more scale looking like the T-Runner too bad they don't make them in 1.55 though...

Have you tried out the stock grey dual stage foams?

Haven't tried them yet. I'm waiting for the Crawler Innovations Lil Nova's (closed cell) to come out.

They work perfectly with rc4wd steelies. The bead was revised so it would work better with those wheels.

Mine had the dual grays.
I got a set of the CI foams. Softs up front med pit back. SCX-EXO is 5.5lbs RTR.

The CI foams will be out early August.

Butter smooth mounting on some Gearheads.

That rig is killer! The wheels and tires look right at home with your paint scheme! I'm doing a retro 84-86 look on my TF2 with the SR5 stripes, cherry red and clear coat btw I'm still filling and sanding it for about 20-30 min each night lol. Only two light coats of primer so far.....got a ways to go!
