Please use this format when asking for which foams to buy: Truck Weight RTR? Truck usage (bashing (fast) or rock crawling (slow)? What brand manufacture tire, compound, any tire mods? How wide are the bead locks? Last edited by Nova's Ark; 07-18-2012 at 09:30 PM. Reason: added information |

Yes. No price increase. When you place your order through the web store, in the customer notes, please tell me you have wider 1.9" wheels, how wide they are (1.25" in your case), and I will send you a wider inner foam instead. Please understand, the tire will not mount if the closed cell inner is to wide. | ||||

I am running 4.25" rovers. I need the taller foams. I dont think that the dual stage will negatively effect it. But if there is another option, I am open to suggestions. | |

Got my set today, I got the medium height with medium outer. This is my first time to use any foam besides the stocks. I almost gave up trying to put these in...lol Makes my pitbulls taller and firm compare to the stocks that were very soft. How firm or soft shoud tires be? I use these on a scaler. |

| Re: *_* C.I.'s Lil' Nova Closed Cell Competition Ready 1.9 Dual Stage Foams *_* Ok, had the time to at least get one mounted on the front driver side. Pic of old dual stage next to new dual stage. The bench poser pics even show the huge difference in sidewall support from your old foams. I'll update as soon as I get them all mounted and tested on some rock. Hopefully by next weekend...

Awesome! Great pictures. You are going to notice a huge difference in how it drives and how they hold up to water and mud compared to the original design. Thank you for posting up about them. Please keep us informed in how they perform for you. | |

I have been testing these foams for a while now. Crawler Innovations has nailed it with these closed cell foams. At most comps I attend the biggest issues people have is their foams, they roll way to much and their rigs don't track very well or they have too stiff of foams and they can't get the bounce out of their rigs. The CI foams track very well and don't have the bounce, hands down the best foam at there! I just attended Utah State championship I finished with a 2nd place overall and my foams put me over the top. I crawled lines nobody else could. Now I just need to figure out my electrical issues. |

what will be my best bet with my 10/11 lb truck with 4.65" IROK's, i want to have a aired down look but with support....will the middle height at the 4.65" tall limit be good for the weight of my truck with the center rib taken out of my IROK's already mounted on RC4WD pro-10 steelies.......bob .... |

I believe the rc4wd are a .80 inch wheel so you might need to trim your outers a bit which all I use is a serrated knife. | |

Yeah man, these new closed cell are all the difference in tire performance from what I can tell with just two hours on them. Tire now works like it should, lugs don't fold over or push the contact patch in like before, and the forward bite is much better. Holds the line where you want to put your wheels and don't bounce off or slip like before. My rig may be 6-7lbs. no weights on wheels. So far, pretty impressed. I must say at first I thought they were going to be too firm like a tire with too much air, but now its just we're used to foams with no support. |

I'm looking to buy 2 sets of these foams. I have 2 SCXs, running IROKs (4.65" tire, truck ~8lbs) and the other running TTC Baja Claws (4.75" tire, truck ~7 lbs). I am looking for some advice as to what to buy. I was thinking the 4.5 nova foams for the IROKs in soft front and rear and 4.75 for the TTC Baja Claws in soft front and rear also. Any input on what firmness or size for the foams to buy would be greatly appreciated. Both sets of tires are on RC4WD wheels (Pro10s/Claws; OEMs/IROKs) Last edited by hibbs; 04-25-2012 at 07:43 PM. |

4.65" IROK 8 Pound Truck 4.50" Soft Outer Front 4.50" Medium Outer Rear (might have to narrow the rear outer foam to 1.5" width if it feels too stiff.) 4.75" BAJA Claw 7 Pound Truck 4.50" Soft Outer Front 4.50" Medium Outer Rear The 4.75" is pretty big & stiff. It's best for heavy trucks and big tires. Quote:
- 1.9 Lil' Nova Foam Product Line - I do not make a dual stage foam for the MRC. The average MRC is 3 pounds and the weight does not justify a dual stage foam. Plus the average MRC tire is 3.75" tall. | |||
