My crawler innovations 1.9 single stage review. I received my big box of foams today and immediately started tearing down my rig to mount them up. Rig specs are: Losi MRC Losi beadlocks HB rovers Mini NiNo2 chassis Losi shocks My initial thought was "wow, these are wide" But once installed in the tire and mounted up I was very happy with how they felt. For my fronts I used the soft foams. I bolted the losi weight to the wheel and then did a full wrap of sticky weight to give myself the weight I wanted and a flat surface for the foam to work with. They feel excellent. I couldn't be happier with how they feel. The front wheel/foam/tire weight comes in at 9.45 oz. For the rear I wanted something a little stiffer so I ordered up a set of medium density foams. I run absolutely no weight in the rear of my rigs, which means the losi wheel will have the big gap in the center of the foam(this is another reason I ordered stiffer foam) I first installed the full foam and found that, although it felt good it was too stiff for the weight of the rig. So I then took the foam and cut about 3/8" off of the one side to narrow it up. Now with it mounted back up, it feels exactly how I was hoping it would feel( firmer than the front, but still a little squishy! I'll get some pics of it and some testing done tomorrow. But for now, I can definately say that, I am very happy with my decision to buy these foams. I've always felt my foam setup was subpar until now! Thanks for reading and I hope his thread will help some of you inmyour decisions on foams! |
I just ordered some of those foams for my mini so I will be looking forward to your review. I didn't know you could get these in different densities, I just ordered right from the website . Not sure which density they are, hopefully soft. |
I've fitted the 1.9 single stage soft's in my Trailbusters, working very well. They've won the two comps they've been run in so far "thumbsup" |
The softs definately feel like they are the best option. I'm pretty sure his site only has the soft foams listed. So you should be good. |
So.... lets go test them this weekend, yeah? / Dixie |
I miss you more???:flipoff: |

The single stage 1.9 Lil' Nova Foams are only available in soft through the web site currently. I'm a one man operation and I'm working to make the web site better with the help of a friend. I need to add the 1.9 single stage medium foams, firm foams and memory foams still. I also want to change the ordering from a set of 4 to 1 pair which means I need to fix the web site shipping. So please bear with me. In the mean time, you can email me direct at: novasark@crawlerinnovations.com or PM me here on RCC. Emails get answered faster though. I can then invoice anyone through paypal for foams or tires in any density or quantity with accurate shipping. All the densities are in stock and ready to ship. |
Here are the pics I have so far! Here are the soft and medium side by side. http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x...t/3bf875c0.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x...t/841adba1.jpg Here is how the front tire flattens out. http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x...t/40f45132.jpg Here is the rear flattens out. I'm going to try to soften up the rear a little more. http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x...t/c91eb9cd.jpg So far I'm liking them, but haven't had a chance to get it on any real obstacles beyond my rock pile in my yard. |
