Here’s an example of Proline TSL-SX-XL,good tires that are pretty beat down, but still preform great despite their appearance. I wasn’t very impressed with them at first, but after a break in period they got better and better. The quality of these rc tires today are amazing. Companies are putting an amazing amount of research into them. Getting them to preform a lot like 1 to 1.

| Re: Tire foams
Since this thread was originally about tire foam...I have a brand new Traxxas Defender that now has aluminum bumpers, full light setup, winch and receiver and a bunch of new wiring. Its gained a bit of weight to say the least. So my OEM tires look like they’ve gone flat! I mean flat!! I dont think the stock Traxxas foam can support my little pig and the ground clearance is suffering. Any ideas thrown my way would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

| Re: Tire foams Rubber and plastics manufactures use mold release to eject the part from the mold. Some residue may remain on the tire or part rendering the CA glue you apply useless. Same reason I wash my scale models before painting them

It wouldnt hurt to wash all the pieces with warm water and Dawn dish soap. Which is the best detergent, us modellers found, to rid your parts of oils and release agents. Just let them dry overnight. | |

1 hole in the tire is sufficient.
