I wouldn't look to deep into this. I doubt the average racer would notice the foams with or without additional holes. I just hope this doesn't go off on a tangent like the big bore spring debate.

No need to get defensive. I just do not think making small changes like this would be very noticeable to us mortals

bake your wheels/tires in the oven, and like mentioned before, have patience. We have done it quite a few times with zero issues.

Just installed my hex conversion,very pleased with the fitment of everything,there is no binding or slop what so ever in the front!! Smooth as silk,my only gripe is the rear hexes are a different blue,wish they could have matched it to the rear hubs alittle better,oh well,now i need to glue up 4 sets of tires for tommorrow.

I really liked the hex conversion to. I liked the proline rims the best because the wheel nut is recessed. If anyone is up in the air about it, I highly recommend it.

The hole punching works. A buddy of mine has done that with the old harder jc closed cell foams and it worked well. Now how you use that to tune, and if it makes a noticeable difference in performance is up to you.

Anyone know where I can get a Worlds kit online at a reasonable price? I have bought every possible upgrade part, but all I need now is the actual car. I am returning to AE after a 3 year hiatus. Do they run out of stock often these days? Is there a change being made? Can't find them in stock anywhere. Any inside info would be appreciated.

Default about spring rates

Hello,
What BB springs are used to replace Kyosho light yellow in front and AE green in the back?
