Duratrax Deep Woods - Lug removal mods?

[Kingmeow]

Do they sell the Vaterra TSL foams separately?

I have the Show Downs and after breaking them in the included size foams are too big in my opinion. One wheel is out of round slightly because the foam is over stuffed in there and bunched up in a spot. On a smooth surface you can see some hopping. Regular trailing and climbing you don't notice it.

I tried spreading it out and it didn't work for that one wheel. (Axial Capra stock plastic bead locks.)

Not sure if the sell the Vaterra foams separately. They seem to work pretty well, maybe just a hair soft though. I will probably pick up some CI foams, but wanted to try something different in the mean time. My stock Duratrax foams were so large that they were creased around the outside edge producing a lumpy tire. Plus they were uneven side to side which caused the tire to wobble when driving. The Vaterra foams eliminated all that.

Look for a Crawler Innovations single stage Deuces Wild in the proper size.

Phew! I thought I was the only one or that it will break-in (not!). I've got over 10 actual miles on them and no change.

Thanks Brake, I'll take a look at them.

Stumbled upon this, answering my own question.

Says they fit Deep Woods and Showdowns.

I thought star foams were a thing of the past though?
