I still can't get over how much Crawler Innovations closed cell foams did for my rig.
Just a must have.

I just bought Eddie's last week. Med. and firms. but i have a question tho.. Are you supposed to cut the thickness to fit or squeeze the whole foam in? Those jammies are WIDE!

Edit: just watched the credits again. Noticed you have the 2 stage foam. I have the regular ones. Mine are like 2.5"-3" wide not compressed.

Cut them, you need to try the 2 stage closed foams, you'll throw the rest away.

I'm getting this rig dailed. Watch in the video how the foams work, up hill turns and side hilling are working great. The RC4WD 4 link and 3 link are working grat too.RC4WD's Mickeys with Eddie's foam are the boom in my book.

After watching my video, I've decided to change my front bumper. I had a crappy approch angle. Hopfully this will do better.
