Default cut memory foams?

should I cut the memory foams on my artr? The tires don't have that aired down look that I see on most crawlers. Each front wheel has 4oz weight, and one 1/8 inch hole drilled in each rim.

sure id do it, its all a matter of trial and error, there was a post a few down about making foams from wallmart memory foam pillows since they were on sale, might be somthing to look into, would save the stock foams and you could try out alot of different configurations for about 15bucks and a bit of work, and find wat works best for you.

the hammers arnt the (i'm assuming you have an axial) are decnt tires, not great but not the worst either so you should be able to get a bit more performance out of them

Not sure where I saw it (I tried searching, no luck) but I've seen someone use regular foam on the outer edge of cut memory foams. Since the cut memory foams were too soft and the regular foams added that needed extra ridgity .

Cheers...
