Longer springs would only help if you're not already at the limit of the length of the shock...foam-specific cars had either longer shocks, more inboard shock mounting points on the arms, or lowered shock towers.
Would be cool if you knew someone that could make a set of shock towers a couple mm lower...

Denney!!!!!
Long time, no see! I had thought about using the ‘18 car shock towers since they’re 4 mil lower, and just keep the ‘17 shocks. I just wasn’t sure how crazy I want to get, and still have the car perform well.

How are they too low profile when they are virtually the same as a standard TC rubber tyre?

Virtually, but not. Then they only get smaller from there.

This is going way back in time, but we used to add internal shock limiters to reduce the out of the body length of the shock shaft. Then with them in place you could use a more effective portion of the shocks adjustment threads.

Got to test these foam tires on a big nitro dominated race track this weekend. Definitely works better than rubber tires, we will be getting a class going soon with these tires.

Pretty happy with the performance of the tires on this mod 5.0 blinky TC.

Did you tireprep or run them "natural"?, I have only used tha Gravity tires indoor with tireprep When I use trued Capricorn tires on our 1/8 outdoor track I unly use the grip put into the track.

Ran with tire sauce which I dont think they even need. I'll try them again without sauce

Lone Drifter

I ve found that Sauced Foam tires (or rubber) that are run outside (and inside ) wear less quickly then dry tires

Just for kicks, we also tried Enneti nitro front tires all around on our electric TC cars. These tires are super cheap, probably can get a set of 4 for under $15 during a sale. Unfortunately, those tires didn't seem to have as much grip as the Gravity tires but we will be doing more testing with different compounds

Tonight we we will be 5 touring cars on foam at the local indoor track. 3 on Gravity and 2 on trued and cut rear Capricorn tires. We will se how that shoot out will go

Linguster

I had only short time at the track and got 4 runs under my belt. I started with a new set of tires and after two runs I swiched to a second set of rear Gravity tires. I will see how many runs I could get without truing tires for "right size" front and rear. Carpet that we are using is an old one that has been "sitting" a couple of year "rolled up" So grip is just starting to be built up.

In the comparisson to Capricorn tires it was hard to tell with limited amount of time at the track. But it was fun racing with an old friend that had put the gear in the closet for two years and felt it was time to do some driving on foam. We were chasing eachother around the track and I was beaten with 11.40 to my 11.49. In that scenario it is 1-0 to Capricorn.

Do you know what shore he was running?

Linguster

He was running 37 front and 40 rear, which I belive is the same as th the Gravity tires. He cut them 27mm rear with a saw blade.
