Default Foams for Irok 1.9's

I just bought a barely used set of Irok 1.9 tires. They didn't come with foam. What's the best foam to use with these tires.

Check out the Lil' Nova foams from Crawler Innovations. I just put some in my 1.9 Rok Lox and they seem just right. But I think as you use the tires more, the foams become more compliant, and that should allow the tires to wrap around obstacles more giving them even better traction.

Thanks. I've done a lot of searching here on the topic and I'm more confused now than before. Which ones will be the best? I like the tire flex of my stock Ripsaws. Something similar to that would be great.

Crawler Innovations makes great foams and I'd recommend the Double Deuces based on what you stated. I'd go soft front and medium rear (he's been working on some of the Deuces Wild for the smaller 1.9 tires and I've been testing a pair, but they are not out yet), they will soften up after some crawling:

Here's my 1.9 foam, tire and wheel upgrades....starts here and goes for couple pages in my build. You can see how they started out, how they've broken in and weight of my truck: Natedog's Honcho kit build

Thanks. Single stage or double stage?
