Default Panther foams

What foams are you guys running in your panthers? I have 1 set of the memory foams per tire and I still have a big flat spot in the tread. I'm thinking of stuffing in another foam.

For me, the panthers were way to soft with just the memory foams. I took a stock non memory foam and cut a 1/2" thick pineapple slice off.

Then I put the non memory foam slice on the outside bead of the memory foam. It helped on the side-hiling alot too.

Might try two 1/4" pineapple slices and make a memory foam sandwich with them...

FYI, I carefully cut my slices on a razor sharp band saw.

What is a pineapple slice?

I was going to start with a memory foam center, with a regular foam cut in half for the sidewall support, and sandwich the memory foam in the middle.

I was just using "pineapple slice" to try and describe the regular foam.

I was thinking it was some type of cut pattern to resemble the surface of a pineapple

You can try getting a set of hard foams for a truck like the rustler-etc an put them on frist then put the memory over top.It might be a lot less work then all the cutting.
