Default Pitt bull Rockbeast 1.9 lost grip

Hi all
I have my 1.9 rockbeast on my SCX10 for 8 months now, I have made about 19 runs with it total of about 36 hours
On my last two runs it feels like they lost their grip significantly.
Any ideas on what can I do in order to get the grip back? (other then getting new ones)
Is it possible that it only last for such a short time?
Most of the train over here are hard rocks

Thank you in advance, and a happy weekend to you all.

Its a cleaner. General cleaner. Typically I've seen pitbulls get better grip as they age. Even ones that look like they need thrown out work better than the new ones.

Try washing them in a dishwashing liquid instead maybe.

I would just wash them with dish soap. Might help.

They always get better with age. Turtle has a set from the very first run and they are about as close to pin tire grip that you'll get on a scale tire. IMHO

What foams are you running - the stock foams break down quick if the conditions aren't great.
Past that - wash them, put CI foams in and call it a day.

Hi all and thank you for your replays
I have tryied to wash them with water but didn't have a chance to check it, I would try to wash it with dish soap just to be sure.
I am useing the stock foams at the moment since the first run. wich CI foams should I use?
My rig is a little havy, about 3.039KG 60% to the front and 40% on the rear (I am useing weights on the front wheels).

Check the CI website, he has details on all the double duce foams that will point you in the right direction.
