Very close in feel to a regular Losi grey foam from a Rock Claw, surrounded with a much softer outer white foam, resembling something from Proline maybe. Together they more or less fit inside the Boss Claw with minimal bulge action. Squeezing them from the outside they are fast reacting and somewhat soft. Squeezing them from the sidewall near the bead they are about twice as stiff. They are able to support the truck on a diagonal, whereas the fronts almost crush down to the wheel.

Sounds like a good present

They are a mix of proline dual outer memory foam wrapped over NovaDD inner foam.

They performed the best yet today at our weekly comp/GTG.

What are you running in the rear?

Let's see some more pics!

Here's a shot from my practice run last night.



I've tried this v-climb off and on with different rigs over the past 2 years. Yesterday was the first time I've ever seen anything go up it

Keep looking. These should be back in stock with a few days

I've got to say that so far I am extremely happy with the performance of my Boss Claws. I am running the stock pink foams in the rear and a set of 5.5 Nova's up front. After a couple washings and a little break in, the tires are flat working. They are pulling sidehills and some climbs that others are struggling with. If I could just get my head screwed on straight, my LCC with Boss Claws is capable of taking the podium every time out. Keep up the good work, Jake.

Im with you, these tires have been great for me, Im still trying to dial in the rear, Maybe ill give the stockers a shot. I am excited to see how they do at the next comp!

Sedona foam, with a channel dug out of the center and a certain thickness of the proline dual stage inner foam inserted into that channel.

Soft on the outside that gets progressively firmer as the tire squishes.

Interesting, that sounds like it could work pretty well!

I keep hearing about just using one stage out of the dual stage proline memory foam, how does it work if i use both stages, i also have some oversized proline memory foam if those would work better up front

[losikid]

Ok got them today hopefully i can get them mounted here soon, i'm just wondering is the stock foam memory or not because it doesn't seem like memory foam, i'm also going to try the proline 2 stage memory up front, stock in rear. On proline 8 shooters.
