Is it better to run foam or no foam in the tires of a wraith?

Foam is definitely important in 99% of applications unless you have one of the gmade air ride systems. There are different foams types and firmness'. Go with something you think you may like and base your assessments off of that, kind of a crappy way but one of the few/only unless you have friend or shop local who will let you borrow/try some.

Maybe shoot CI a PM and tell him what ya got and what ya plan to run and he will prob help you get the right foam set up.

I own several sets of CI foams and have not been disappointed yet.

I am running panther firm crawler memory foams and I like them a lot. A 2 stage would be better but for a cheap foam on a decently fast rig they do well. Ymmv.

Probly want to consider some dual stage foams if in the 8lb plus weight range.

If under 8 lbs there's are lots of memory foams that will work well in ripsaws even dual stage with memory outers
