I’ve never had foam issues. I do have original Hpi wheels, silverback bead locks , and hostile nightmares. I will say the silverback wheels are badass. I hoarded a couple sets of hostiles for my 5t and 5b. Use good wheels, bead locks, and tires. Foams have never been an issue. I realize you used long screws but I would still use those foams dude. Don’t over think poop

Yea, those foams are usable still. Just don't keep running them with screws eating them.

@pyroM!ke247 I don't believe I did have a police themed Baja

No they aren't, one was, but the other had 30% of it blown out.

I didn't take them out because I felt like it, one blew out, and I noticed the other was going out. Here's the one that didn't blow out, the inside has huge tears in it and was ready to go too.

Yes , when I took the beadlock off, they were seated really well. It unmounted because the foam blew up. Either way I feking hate beadlock ?

So get some decent foams you cheap arse. I'm telling you, this is an odd problem to have. Get some hostile no growth and try again.

I know what that is. I've never actually watched it but I've seen the car.

It did, ordered the hostiles . I didn't know ddm had them in stock until I ordered them .
 
I’m serious about Johns police rig. I bought a pipe from him I think years ago from the HBF forums years ago. I’m actually a OG when it comes to this hobby. Not bragging but I’ve been in and out of the hobby for years.
 
Zed, I'm sure they didnt help, but a good set of foams can take some abuse before flying apart.
