Hi

In first I'm sorry for my English, I'm French, and wasn't a good student...

here a pics of my NN like

and I'm looking for a foam solution... the stock foam of MoabXL is too firm (-1 cm in width)...
anyone have a solution? I don't want to cut the foam in star...

thanks

Fab

Check out some of the Memory foams that people are putting out. That will get the flex out of the tire and should help with climbing.

What wheels are those? They look sweet. I'm thinking of picking up a huge memory foam pillow and cutting my own. There's a ton of diffrent thickness ratings on pillows out there just at walmart alone.

dude26 · 03-08-2009, 01:05 PM

it's Hpi Blast wheels

I try to find some pillow in memory foam, but the only one I found is too firm...

joesbruiser · 03-08-2009, 09:01 PM

A good option would be to use 2 Panther memory foams for the cougar tire per rim.The reason for 2 is it takes that many to make the trip around the wheel.Another option(I have not tried it yet) would be 2 NWTT hybrid mems a tire.
If its cold out 2 NWTT allweather hybrids work great.

dude26 · 03-09-2009, 09:36 AM

thanks Joesbruiser

I was interested by NWTT memory foam, but I think it's gonna be a little too short, even with 2... I calculated the perimeter and it's missing 2 or 3 cm.. :-?
2 Panther foam fit on XTM thorn (the same diameter than the HPI Blast) ??

here the winter don't during so long

joesbruiser · 03-09-2009, 01:45 PM

Yeah 2 of the panther foams makes the trip around the Thorn.
Belive me when I say they work Thats what I won the 08 nats with.

I run panther tires on my super but here are a few picks of the panther mem. foam with two strips of normal foam on the sides for support with my panther tires.The stock 2.2 panther mem.foam only measures 4.5 inches and the NWTT hybrid squat measures 4.75 and a 1/4 inch wider thats why I am going to try them.

And one with a uncut panther foam inside to show inner diameter.

dude26 · 03-09-2009, 03:10 PM

Really nice to you Joesbruiser !!

so, I gonna buy a lot of panther foam

and maybe I gonna win the first champ here in France

( in first I must improve my driving... :-P)

joesbruiser · 03-09-2009, 03:20 PM

You have a good start to win some comps.
Only things I could see changing is the side body post,and build yourself a set of panther Plowbowy or meatgrinder tires.

dude26 · 03-09-2009, 03:40 PM

thanks

for the body post there is one less now

and this body is too big ...

I know the new super tires... but for this moment I want to use this set of Moab

dude26 · 03-10-2009, 04:38 AM

just a last question...

what kind of glue do you use ?? I know it's in spray but I don't know the exact type of glue...

dude26 · 03-25-2009, 12:59 AM

thanks Joebruiser for the advice, I just have my set and it's exactly what I need, really soft !!!

Glad I could help and hope they work well for you.

Shane's Comp NN Super Build

I'll chime in with the NWTT option, on plowboys...(see link above)

Since then I have made the front foam setup like the rear. Extra foam just on the outside of the tires for some sidewall support. Since putting it in the front everything works good. No issues with sidewall support. Tested the setup in the video link at the bottom of the above link.
