Now...if you are worry about the tire wear.....Eric ran probably about 50-60 packs of lipo on the brand new set of foams....stock dimension was like 65mm rear and 64.5mm front...60 packs lipo later, it is around 63mm rear and 62mm front....probably another 20-30 more packs to go his tires will be in real fast racing specification.....

one set of these tire last a very long time.....alot longer then rubber tires and still have high grade traction if you ask me.

And yes, rubber tires/wheel set are in the making, I am suppose to travel to the MFR later February for the tires inspection and testing....will update later.

You also do not need to true these tires. Just rotate them once every three run.

Howard can you guys source another set of harder foam tires for really high bite tracks like Harbor? Maybe they will last even longer.

Would it be possible to have a frp bumper that extend to the nose of the body?

I would not true down the tires. Just buy a few sets and run them down to smaller size then save them for bigger races where the traction is much higher and you feel the need to use smaller tires.
