Anyone ever have issues with foam?
Tried searching this but found nothing that describes what i'm seeing.
I recently glued up some fresh bar codes onto proline renegade wheels. I used the stock foam.
Whats happening is, it's like the foam isn't thick enough? I can grab quite a bit of the tire, without grabbing foam. It TREMENDOUSLY affects traction. To combat the problem, I tried another manufacture's tire/foam in which I could NOT grab the tire without grabbing foam and it was hooked up.
What's MORE odd, is on the SAME day, I also glued up a set of wheels for my 4x4, and I have the SAME thing going on, just not as bad. The wheels/tires/foam were ALL made by jconcepts in that case.
I'd like to see what the deal is, so if you have an idea, chime in?

Yup I had some of those too. I noticed my old bar codes had no sidewall support inside the outer bead and the new ones do.
-I also just received my new Silverado hiflow SC body and it has several blems including stray mold lines, bubbles, and scratches.
-Received a Rc8.2e punisher body with creased sides.
-A package that was supposed to have 4 wheel nuts for a b4,t4,etc with nothing in it lol.
I vowed no more bodies from JC after buying my manta body a couple years back that had multiple blems in the plastic.
Nice designs but poor quality control imo.

Question on foams;
I have a set of subcultures and they came with a blue looks like a molded type foam and not the profiled foam that is sold. Not sure if its an old batch but is it okay to use or should i go with the profiled foam? I have a set of green barcodes without foam just not sure if i should run the molded or the profiled and what would be the difference?
Thanks.
