any plans to offer your carpet tires in different compounds?

Also been seeing guys using your 4wd front carpet foams in the rear buggy tires, based on this any plans to update your foams and / or offer the tires without foams like schumacher does?

The first batch is Silver only, but hopefully Blue and Aqua will follow soon.

Not at the moment, but is being discussed. No plans for just tires...I just cut the stock foam that comes with the tire to the width that I feel is best for any given conditions. I actually prefer having that option .

We do make 4wd bodies for TLR (F2 & S2), but nothing Kyosho.

Do you have an ETA on the 3325y? Losi 2wd fronts
Thanks
Unfortunately no ETA on those. Not sure if you noticed, but the team drivers have been running B6 front wheels recently, so the writing is on the wall

we have tried this with the 4wd front swaggers on standard 2wd buggy wheels no foams and a jconcepts team driver I know who did this really liked the feel of the car. Using another brand that didn't have pin style tires (like a prism or fuzzbite) for 2wd fronts I tried the same and also liked how the steering felt versus skinny fronts that are not pin style.

Unfortunately the one track I really liked them on banned doing that, tires have to be made for the wheel. So in short if the 4wd swaggers were designated as 2wd / 4wd swaggers they probably would be legal lol.

It's not very often, but we have done it when running slicks on high bite indoor. It seems to make the car easier to drive in those conditions.

Going to need install video for the new side wall support adaptors. Can't wait to try them out.

Thanks

That's the only time I personally do it, and Brent Thielke. None of our pro-drivers do it, they always run the standard fronts.

PW: you guys looking to do the Pin Swags as fronts? Heard these are great rears and curious if they could be for fronts as hearing that unmodified the Fuzz bite 4wd fronts are too much on our conditions here.

Yes...We are looking into making an updated 4wd front.
