Tyre foam help

[Erik J.]

I'm looking for new tyre foam for my XT but i don't know the size of the foam.


I found hpi molded tyre foam but don't know if they fit. Does anyone know what size i need to order? The foam that is in now is pulverized to dust and the XT the is starting to jump at high speed because it runs on flat tyres.

I used these https://www.largescalerc.com/search.aspx?find=010902P0+-+Monster+Tire+Foam+Insert+(QTY+2)

The width is perfect they are too big but you can cut them cut to the right length and re glue. They have been holding up just great.

There is no replacement foam for the factory tires. Thats why people are recommending alternatives.

Are pool noodles not a to hard compound?the tyre foam at largescalerc.com are good but can't find a seller in the Netherlands so maybe the pool noodles. Has anyone try it with the pool noodles?

Pool noodles a hundred and one uses, I also use them on my Pool Pipes to protect them from the sun and a slight insulation benifit aswell

Should i order a noodle with a hole or just a masive.i'm gonna try it because there are a lot of sellers of these pool noodles in the Netherlands

Well if massive means a big square,I would get the massive and trim the width and length to fit. Also use duct tape,don't know what you may call it in sweden,but its silver and you use it to wrap the joints for your heating ducts from the furnace.I know sweden uses a lot of stainless steal in your heating systems I believe.Rember nacesity is the mother of invention. Good luck and the noodles should be fine.
