I've run the yellows on buggy tires, but not MT tires. WAY too firm for me, simply unuseable. Maybe the orange are a better compromise.

I like the yellow ones, nice and firm. My tires are a little to big for them, I have the gt-1 savage tires. I don't really care that the tires are to big because I bash. Thay don't ballon as easy. You need a 40 Series tire or a tire thats not bigger than 6.9''od for them to fit well.

hi doesgo!

How hard would you say they are compared to stock foams of your tire? They are not sold in Holland, so I can't check them out myself before ordering..

thnx

Hi CWC.

How firm would you say they are comparred to the stock hpi foams that got with your gt-1. ?? Are the ofna foams hard as rock?? Will they do well ofroad you think?

I will use them for onroad, ofroad and jumps.


Did you ever touch the orange ones?? do they feel as soft as stock foams that usually come with tires??? Like hpi, proline etc..

They're probably the firmest buggy foams I've ever found. Not rock-hard, but definitely firm. They might work well in a monster truck though, especially for bashing, assuming the yellow MT foams use the same material. MT foams tend to be stiffer than buggy foams in general. They're too firm for buggy racing though, the tire treads are nearly round so only the middle contacts the track. I just compared them to the orange OFNA foams and the oranges are quite a bit softer.

I like them alot more than the stock foam. Thay are a lot more firm probably 2-3 times more firm than stock foam, and no I have never touched the orange foam. I don't jump very much so I don't know, but I think that thay should be fine. Use a smaller tire than the gt-1 for best results. Molded foams last longer better than the stock foam. I also think that the truck handles better with firm foam.
