foam tires vs rubber tires
I was thinking about getting a set of foam tires, but i was wondering about their life span, do they last longer than the rubber tires, most of the use is on somewhat rough parking lot surfaces?

Nice beamer,
I run hpi belted x-patterns for rubber. I have run the jaco blue sedan foams, don't know what shore they are though.
But my latest pair I smoked down pretty good after about 12-14 tanks. That seemed alittle soon, but we were running hard on decent traction asphalt. I would defintely try the foams and ca glue the sidewalls to protect from chunking.[8D]

I just got a starter box for my tc3+ and it's sweet. I can leave the body on the whole time I run, I fuel it thru the front windshield hole.
