Tire size
 
Hey everyone, I was wondering is someone can chime in on this. I just recently acquired a GEN 8 scout And would like to change the foams I know the tires it comes with all of the super swampers but I’m looking to put the pro line dual stage foams in the tires now it says will fit super swampers XL but I cannot find any information on what exactly is the size of the tires and will the pro line dual stage foams fit the stock 1.9 super swampers.

Thanks,
Dave

The tires are 4.65" if memory serves me correctly, look for something that's 4.75" to fit correctly.

I run 4.5" CI Lil Novas in the stock tires & they're perfect. Soft in the fronts & mediums in the rear if I recall.

I run the 4.5" Lil Novas in mine, and I feel like the foams are way too stiff because they're too big for the tires. I run the same foams in a set of Hyrax tires, which are a little larger, and in those tires the foams work great. For the stock Redcat tires, I'd strongly advise going to the 4.25" Lil Novas and utilizing the extra sleeves that they include to get the right feel. I'll be swapping mine out for 4.25s when I get the ambition to deal with taking my aftermarket wheels apart.
