Best foams for a lot of creek driving?

Fast forward to the early 2000's and things got real and foams became required for a sub 10 lb rig to work.

ha ha ha actualy in 86 i was in to airplanes wire controled and rc
we would.go to the novak factory and get stickerz thats what got me in to buggies

3Bros Anti-Foams are water proof, soft, and have great sidewall support. They are also tunable.

I have actually talked to him, I was very positive of his design and told him to keep working on it as I believe this is the new way forward for tire inserts. I have been working on this concept for over two years. I have people who have been receiving test samples since the beginning. Very well known people in the community and people in my area. I sent samples to John Schultz, ScalerFab, Reefs RC, 3Bros, Brian Parker, and various other people in the community. Some have gotten very early samples going back almost 2 years, one got the very first print which was pretty bad. Lol

Michelin has been working on 1:1 tires that use a webbed structure for decades, they have had the Tweel concept for slower industrial and off road use, and now are talking about possibly releasing a production car tire by 2024 called the Uptis.

IMHO, the webbing works better as an insert for a crawler tire because we are using a tire as an outer structure, whereas Michelin has been trying it on vehicles that move much faster and are so much heavier that the airless substitute ends up being heavy as well, and to avoid heat they're not using an outer sidewall - meaning they are more prone to damage.

It'll be interesting to see how it all works out.

I've been running versions of this for about 2 years now. It's amazing how I can get a super soft insert like stick crap foam yet have amazing sidewall support like a hard dual stage.

Exocaged came out with some testing videos of the Antifoams.

I’m definitely interested even with the price tag.

I checked out Just Scalin’s video on the ones he made. I really like those as well.

The one thing I like better about Just Scalin’s over the AntiFoams is that it makes the tire face flat instead of rounded.

The PL foams in my trenchers round it is well. I like the increased contact patch with the flat face instead of rounded.

The Antifoams look like a good product.

Joseph from Just Scalin' and I have been talking for months. He's a great guy and says he has no plans of ever selling his. I have toyed with making a flatter face, it's an easy change for me. It all comes down to preference honestly. I prefer the flat but most people I have talked to want the rounded as the flat reduces the tire height a little.

Got a set of antifoams coming, super excited to try them out
