Tire foam trimmin' how to ????'s
#1
What is the best way to trim the square edges off tire foams so they fit inside the tire better? Obviously I am talking about the older style non-formed type foam insert.

I hate hacking into foams with a body scissors. Hacking should be left on the track.

Losi tires come with a non-molded style foam and I don't think other molded foams can be used since these tires have a shorter sidewall than Proline or Panther tires. Plus the wheels have a slightly larger diameter. Or will the Proline or OFNA foams "stretch" and work fine with the Losi tire/wheel combo?
