I have pushed rubber tires hard with my rustler-dragster and I can split a rubber tire in half when not belted with tape. The foams have instant traction, whereas the rubber tires just spun out under the massive power.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the info. I have found that 1/8 scale and Drag racing is not very popular. I have surfed the internet looking for front and rear tires and as you can see I ended up using motorcycle tires. The search for the pro-stock body is another sore subject. If I had a 1/10 scale car I would be in good shape. Do you have a link that I could buy 5” tall foam tires?

Thanks
