RE: which foams?
Hey I noticed you are in NYC. What part? A lotta city guys use ellegis, yokomo, or GRp tires. Nitro shoes also are pretty good. Some go by the rims that match their car. The Velocity rims are a bit sturdier, but thats more of a concern with 8th buggy racing. Get whatever foams hook up where you're bashing/racing at.

Go to Brooklyn Hobbies, East Coast Hobbies, and or America's Hobby Store Center for info on racing at Floyd Bennett Field. That's near Kings Plaza in Brooklyn. It's a huge outdoor parkinglot where racers get together on Sats an Suns for some practice racing. Great fun there.

East Coast Hobbies on Bay Parkway is Closed. Go to Brooklyn Hobbies. Their a great bunch of guys there. It's located by about 5-10 min. drive from Floyd Bennett Field. The track is black top with a fire hoses setup. They change the track layout from time to time. If you get their early you can set it up the way you want. They run 1/10th & 1/8th scale cars. 1/8th Scale cars kill 1/10th scale. I know from first hand.[:@]
