yep, you cut the big chunks off with scissors or side-cutters then use a dremel to remove the rest. takes alot of patience.

can you just use regular scissors? what kind of bit or grinding drum do you use to smooth it out?

I like using body scissors because they seem to be really sharp and easy to get into the tread. I never sand my tires down, so I wouldn't know.

im new to the crawling world also, but with a savage tire id just try cuttin gth efoams in half and go form there, they are a pretty soft tire as it is. and the tread flexes a lot on them any way. just my tow pennies.

Right. Use the Savage tires as they are. They work very well.....without foams.
