Pro-Line memory foams in front. Using 6 oz. stick on lead. Hybridized Pro-Line memory foam sandwiched between two 1/4" slices of Pro-Line regular foam in the rear. 3 oz. stick on lead. |

I don't run foam in my rock claws. Just a little air trapped in them in the house in front of the air conditioner. Then when I get outside in the sun the air expands to just the right pressure. I run 8 oz. in each front tire, nothing in the rear. They will outclimb my Panther Cougars w/memory foam in this setup. However, I pinched a sidewall at our last Comp and need to try some CA to patch it because it lost its airpressure. |

I would run a stock, uncut Losi foam in the rear and a http://www.tcscrawlers.com/8-Rockham...h-p-16846.html or http://www.tcscrawlers.com/8-Rockham...h-p-16844.html in the front. For weight start with none in the rear and a full strip wrapped around the front wheels. I would not recommend running without foams. |

X2..... I run the reds in front and the pinks (#5's) in the rear. Works pretty good, but I seriously think running the stock losi foam (uncut) works just as good if not better on some cases. 5oz in each front (Ericson comp heavies), and 3oz in the rears (standard Ericsons) is good start point for weight also.. | |

I run a regular foam in the rear to limit traction. Too much and the truck goes over backwards. The 3S lipo makes up for the loss of traction |

I run stock uncut Losi foams in the rear and Proline firm buggy foam in the front. I have 3 9/16 bearings front and 1 9/16 and 1 3/8 in the rear on Mayhem double phattys. The shorter buggy foam gives the tires just the right bite.
