new scaler/trail cruiser,tire foam questions

[sawhead]

ok,so i am new to scalers and am not gonna become hardcore...i will be mostly playing with these on wooded trails...i have 3 of these now for myself and the kids...all are used and have different mods,but long story short all have 1.9 tires

one has the tall baja claws and i just bought some deuces wild foams (they seem pretty hard and i haven't tried them yet,but it's what crawler innovations suggested)...i ordered pitbull rockbeasts and interco iroks,so my question is,how are the foams that come with each of these tires or should i get in touch with crawler innovations for suggestions on these also?

last,i didn't know what offset the oem wheels are and i ordered gmade 0 offset beadlocks...good or bad,i know wider is better for stability

i guess i just don't wanna have hard bouncy tires or not have the tire get enough traction from no flex...maybe that won't be what happens either

I only use Crawler Innovation foams. All stock foams seem to have no sidewall support for me, but my rig is also 10+ lbs.

mine is about 8.5lbs.

I too only run CI foams!
I run the Deuces wild foams in my SCX-10 F350 Hardbody with 1.9's and it does awesome! I thought they seemed stiff when I got them but after the first outing I have a different opinion… The performance was great!!! I also have CI Double deuces in 2.2 RB2's with 6" med and hard foams on my Wraith.

sounds great then

thanks guys

yep,lesson learned at least for crawling that doesn't involve rocks anyways...double deuces work awesome,i ordered a set for my kids IROKS

unfortunately,the previous owner of the commanche glued the baja claws to the steelies and i don't wanna ruin them,else they would get them also
