Many like their tires, but will use stock Losi foam before using Proline's monstrous foams.
I like my Proline Chisels...with stock foam.

maybe you need more vents or just the star pattern in the outside of the foam, i did that and gripped alot better

on a sub 3 pound mrc they work pretty good with my 1.9 flat irons. but i would run foams on anything bigger even if it was a stupid light 2.2

yep deffinatly too much foam for a little 1/18 mrc. well gotta start over now i've changed so many times screws were stripping out and had to glue everything. think i will try some of that open cell sealing foam i read about in one of these threads, feels real soft, it can be trimmed easily, and i'll probably just put enuff to cover the beadlock spacers i'm making. thanks for all the info guys. i'll let you know how it turns out.

first off, if anyone checks out my build the tires i have really suck so never get them.
on the other hand i was thinking about gluing and sealing the tires and put valvle stems on them? i here they have air gauges that mesure less than 1 psi.. would this be ok or what, or maybe figure out a way to get a vacume gage hooked up some how and get some kind of minus pressure to reduce the bounce?
if this is just nfg than nvm..
what 2.2 rubber compound is baller right now?
