Foam tyres
 
Hi all, I am after some foam tyres to fit a 4wd buggy (fronts and rears). Our local club has politley asked us to use foams on the carpet rather than spikes to save damaging the surface.:o .If you know where i can purchase these please get in touch.

Any help appreciated. :)

Craig,

Is there any signs that the spikes are damaging the carpet?

I would be very suprised if there was as no other clubs seem to have any problems as far as i know and some do not have the thick stuff that you race on:(

Allan 29-07-2007 09:43 PM

alright lee there's no sign of any damage yet but there's only myself and baldy raced for one evening, but looks like we could have a return to buggys there at the mo will have 4 on friday.

Baldy has a predator + b4ft

Have listed the cars i know as not sure of wheel fittings
