Default FOAM tires

We have a brand new carpet oval in my town and I need foam tires for my MINI T and for my VENDETTA. actually for my T4 too.
Where can I get all these foam tires and wheels?
Thanks for any help

I got a set of foams for my mini-t for Christmas. I've never had foams before so I am curious to see how much of a difference they make. I will be racing on a clay dirt oval though. Racing season starts in a few weeks

They are made by losi. You should be able to find them here, page 3 http://www.horizonhobby.com/Search/D...lCatID=&Page=1

for the vendetta you can use any foam tire meant to touring cars use, since the vendetta have a 12mm hex too.

Yes except all of them are 28mm wide. The vendatta has 21mm wheels. I went ahead and bought some, somehow I will cut-grind-sand them down to 21MM.
Thanks

I don't think there is going to room in there for the tie rod ends and suspension bits.
I don't think I will have to cut them back to 21 maybe 23-24. I will find out when they get here.

I know these are made for a Duratrax Mini Quake, but will they fit a Vendatta too?

Regular touring car foams fit fine, you dont need to cut them down.
