Hey guys, I have an 18R but I want to try foam tires. What do I need to do this?

what type of surface will dictate the hardness (durometer) of foam.
you generally use a harder foam on the front than the rear....
with the rc18 you need to make custom foams from scratch.....or get 1/10 tc adapters and find 1/10 scale mini foams......
if you want to run rc18t foams you will need to get longer axles and trim your body(wheel wells) to allow clearence for the larger od foams.....
