Default Tire foam question. WARNING!!! Noob question!

Ok so I know the noob section would be a better place to post this, and the mods can move it if they prefer, but seeing as it's a wheel issue... Anyway, just got done with my SCX10 - D90 build, which sit's on 1.9 trail busters. I got these tires in a trade with no foams. Had NO idea how much bearing foams made with a heavy rig such as this, and this thing is rather heavy. My question is. Can I buy foams from a vendor? I've been looking around and haven't seen anyone who sells these. EBay doesn't seem to have very many at all and I'm at a loss to where I can get them. Do you guys make them from foam material? Sorry about the noob question, I'm kind of at a stand still now. Thanks in advance for your help! I've searched this section which yielded some results, but not where to get them.

Yup crawler innovations is the place for quality foams.

For years Ive used a local shop called The Foam Man. He makes everything with the stuff with a rediculous amount of different densities and his scraps were always plenty for 2 sets of tires. Only cost a few bucks to boot. Just an option if ya got something like that local too.

Yes called around a few places and only things avail are foams for SCT's which are popular here :-/ I plan on using the link above as they seem to have a vast selection for my narrow tires lol. Thanks very much.
