1/10th scale molded foam inserts?

[ttboyy2k]

Does any manufacture make a molded foam insert for 1/10th scale offroad buggy tires? If not, why not? They are real popular in 1/8th scale offroad and seem to last a lot longer than standard foam inserts.

actually the 8th Proline moulded inserts break up a LOT!

the GRP ones seem to last better

GRP make moulded inners for 10th, got some in some cone spikes i bought lst week

Showtime, how long do the Grp molded foam inserts last compared to say trinity bomb 1 stage grey inserts? Are they any heavier than stock inserts and are they good for low-bite dirt tracks? Do they offer more side-bite and or forward bite than stock inserts? Also, do you have a link where I can buy them?
Thanks,
Tommy

whoa

a few questions there i can't answer!
i know about the 1/8 inserts as thats my regular class
as for tenth i've only done 1 meeting 2 weekends ago so i'll only have limited advice to offer!
basically all i know is the GRP conespikes i bought came with moulded inserts,
i've not used the tyres yet so can't comment on them & even if i had i'd have no experience with other tyres for comparison!
sorry to not be of any real help , but i give you all i got

i don't think the inserts are even available seperately

GRP are the first to offer 10th moulded inserts as far as i know.

They are defenetly not the first to "look into" moulded 10th inserts though and previously they had been discounted as they couldn't be made soft enough. Can't help thinking that moulded inserts would be heavier, although have to admit i haven't weighed any.
