outdoor track tires??? - rcrunr1 - 06-28-2006
Thanks Czech -- yeah, I was askin' about 1/8 buggy tires
The crime fighters come in 3 compounds but like you say bowties come in one only as far as i can see.
Does compound (m2 or m3 or xtr) make that much difference in loamy/loose conditions?
And what about foams? Use the standard whites or optional grays?

I would get M2's they are good all around, get urself maybe one set of M3 and one set of XTR just to have to use or try at different tracks

NOT the whites definately. Greys are OK but Racer's edge are best for MT tires. I hear good things about the panther molded ones for 1/8.

panther doesnt have molded buggy foams yet...DO NOT USE THE PROLINE MOLDED FOAMS, phuck em' i have tried numerous ways to keep them together, cant keep them from ripping. Wait until they get their act together over at Proline to use them again

are there MT foams still shitty?
outdoor track tires??? - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 06-28-2006
no they are fine

That sux........been using the green molded panther foams for ST and was hopin to use molded foams for 1/8 buggy too. Theyre convenient, i can get a more consistent sidewall stiffness and they seem to roll better.
But since 1/8 molded foams arent availabe from panther and Proline's molded foams "suck", im back to using proline grays (??) and cuttin em at an angle at the sidewall to get em to fit the tire.
I wonder what foams Proline uses for their premounted tires?? Maybe i can take the easy way out afterall.

you sure.....cuz i have heard they only last like half a gallon
outdoor track tires??? - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 06-28-2006
all mine have gone 2 gallons plus already
Panther had some problems with their foams, well no really problems, but their foreign maker stopped doing it. They used a process through treadz tires to make their foams, which would not pass US chemical laws or some BS so they are now trying to make their own a cleaner way they are currently under going testing. Proline however skipped this testing period and the foams just dont hold up, they are too porous and have too many bubbles so they rip. I would use either the panther whites or proline whites, proline greys are for MT. U dont need to trim them down or anything. I am pretty sure that the proline premounts have molded foams in them.
See guys I can critique proline products also lol
outdoor track tires??? - kevinF - 06-28-2006
well im planning on buying some proline bowtie MTs for my revo and want to know if i should just use their foams or what??
outdoor track tires??? - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 06-28-2006
use the stock foams, or at most the proline greys, anything else is just to hard.
outdoor track tires??? - kevinF - 06-28-2006
ok, im trusting you....lol im just ognig to use the stock foams.......if I hav e problems im comin after you sponsered boy....lol
outdoor track tires??? - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 06-28-2006
no problem, if u got any problems let me know and i will talk to proline for u and get those issues worked out. if u do go threw a set of foams in an abnormally short amount of time, i will get an RMA for u and have them replaced if u really want.
outdoor track tires??? - kevinF - 06-28-2006
