Foam tyres
 

Can you get foam tyres and will they work well on carpet only reason I ask is we can't use mini pins at our club now thankyou

do a google for contact 10th buggy foams or 1/8th on road foams we run them at the south lakes model car club during the winter we also run enneti foams as well expect to try one or 2 shore ratings to find the right grip level are you able to use an additive ? that can make a hell of a difference as well

and hard fronts http://www.racing-cars.com/pp/New_Ca..._SV2/JY45.html
You will find much better handling on foams, and they will last forever compared to pins.

Alternatively, if you want to stick to rubber the Schumacher Venom in white compound will give you loads of grip on the rear.

Yes we can use Additive what's best

I have tried venoms and I had better grip with pins is it best to run foams all front or could I put cut staggers on front or will that not work

You could try Venoms with additive. My experience with foams is that they are a pain in the ass. Though I have only run them in GT12.

you will get mega grip with foams on carpet and additive

they do need a bit of care and a tyre truer is an extra bit of kit you my eventually need

favouirites are

spider grip (blue or green)
sx3 (Schumacher stuff))

We run foams at one of our local clubs and we use the 1/8th scale Contact donuts for the rear either 35 or 37 shore and run the 10th 45 shore donuts on the front. Do you know anyone that has a truer?

i just use the contact buggy foams from schuey and have never trued them, i just swap from left to right etc.. last a whole winter series :thumbsup:
