Got mine installed on the pitbulls. Did a run today, the 4.5's are tough to mount but they work very well. Much better than the 2.2 Panther foams I had in them.
If I would have been able to make this off-camber it would have been riding on the beadlocks before. Held it good now.
In this gap-
I was happy with how the tire would give just enough to keep a bite on the side.
The set up that Eddie recommended was just what these tires needed. At first I was thinking the medium front outers were going to be too soft but once everything got buttoned up they feel very good.
Thanks for the great product.

Just ordered a full set for my rig! Thanks again for great foams. I run the double deuce foams in my XR10 and they are amazing. Order 4.5 lil nova foams for my dingo with Pitbulls. Medium fronts with firm rears. rig is rather heavy so that setup should work great. Thanks Eddie
Amazing customer service and shipping. Thanks Eddie!
Just installed the 4.5" soft front / med rear Lil Nova's in my 1.9 Iroks on RC4WD steelies. Is this set up supposed to be so stiff?
Tires are way stiffer then with the stock foams.

They will be stiff for the first 5 - 8 battery packs. They need to be broken in.
How much does your truck weigh?
Which compound tires do you have?
How much does your truck weigh? - Its probably around 6 lbs. Never weighed it, but I will when I get home tonight.
Which compound tires do you have? - They're pretty new IROKS (around 1.5 months old). When I bought them I was expecting the X2SS compound but I think they're X3. They really dont feel any different then some of my older RC4WD tires. I did sand off the inner rib before installing the new foams and vented the tire in 3 spots.

At only 6 pounds in weight and with a fairly stiff tire, the 4.25" might be better. All of the Lil Nova Dual Stage foams use the same size outer. It's the three inners that are different heights. Basically, the heavier the truck, the taller the inner you want to use. I use the 4.50" in Pitbulls on a 8 pound jeep.
Edit:
Tuning tip: The closed cell inner can be trimmed, shaped or channeled in order to soften it. If you need more forward bite, a small 1/8" - 1/4" deep channel in the closed inner will accomplish that. It will also soften the overall feel of the tire.

The weight of the truck comes in at 5.9 lbs without the battery and 6.5 lbs with. No weight in the wheels, not quite sure how you would do that with steelies.
I didn't trim down the outer foams at all, wonder if that would help too.
Thanks for the help Eddie, CI rocks!
The new 1.9 outer foams are now narrower from the factory. I would not narrow them myself. You either need to tune the inner foams or step down in size on the inners based on your weight.
Any plan to make some for the new 4.19x1.55 Pitbull tire?
Yes. Once I have the tires in stock I will get started on a 1.55". I'm waiting for the new 2.2 and 1.9 to come back in stock. I'm being told it will be 12/15 or so.

Yes, 12/15/2012. Around that time is when the tires are expected to be in the Pitbull warehouse. They still have to ship to dealers from there. C.I. will have PitBull tires w/ C.I. Foams Combos available on the web site.
