I wouldn't waste my time or materials trying to print my own. I will gladly buy 3B anti-foams knowing how great they perform and last.

| Re: 3D printed tire inserts? You spend 70$ on some inserts nobody really knows how they will hold up in the long run?..well each to their own ...you can buy a lot of TPU with that.

I tried the antifoams with brand new alien snot rock beasts over the weekend. I like them for the most part, but I wasn't able to make a couple lines I could with my stupid soft pitbull dual stage foams. I'm used to being able to let the sidewall bind up and form to rock edges and whatnot. These don't allow for that as much. I'm sure the pros outweigh the cons, though. I'll need to run them a few more times, to know for sure. They definitely make tires and wheels go together easy, though. Pic for no reason. |

| Re: 3D printed tire inserts? Dual stage. It could have been the brand new tires, too. I need more time to test them/get used to them. I got less than an hour in before it had a pretty spectacular fall that bent the frame and ended my crawling for the day.

All I have seen is that the first batch of them had mayor quality issues...maybe its better now,who knows....If you go 3D I would invest in one of D440s new ones...they are made with two types of quality TPU. https://m.facebook.com/groups/d440rc...ly&__tn__=EH-R Last edited by themountain; 03-13-2022 at 05:21 AM. |

Our SCX6 Anti-Foams are made from two types of material as well. That was done after many variations and testing and not because I saw someone else do it. You can't tell me these other guys have been working on these for almost 3 years now. I've had dozens and dozens of variations and sent these all over the country for testing going back to early 2020 Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk | |

| Re: 3D printed tire inserts?
I was not talking about how they look like.....first batch had major quality issues(layer separation, stiff when cold,etc.) wblteen I get the feeling you want to misuse this thread to push your product...thats okey but just tone it down a bit. There are tons of things going on in the moment.. we should wait and see where it is heading....as I said before I was really into the whole printing inserts idea ,but I honestly think its still very basic.

For the stiff when cold that's not possible, as we have only used on type of filament for the softs, dualstage, 4.19s, and the outer of the SCX6. I have made a lot of samples in other materials that have been sent out and made there way into multiple peoples hands. For production we have used only 1 type. For the layer seperation I would like to see a photo. If it was seperating it was most likely a blemish that was packaged by accident. We have quite the pile of QA'd prints. If it is what I'm thinking that "layer seperation" was designed into the chamfer of the softs to try and make them as soft as possible. It is only visible on one side as the bottom side gets squished a touch on the first layer. I do agree it's basic, that's why I think it's good. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk | |

I can't get behind anything Tom Asher is a part of since he's a liar with shitty products anyway but I don't see plastic lasting nearly as long as foam. Yes foam breaks down but that's all just part of the tuning process.

| Re: 3D printed tire inserts? I bought 2 sets, actually. After seeing how well they were made, I knew it wouldn't be worth my time and expense to try and duplicate them.
