Is it a smart idea to true down 10th touring foams

gluing edge
you don't have to glue the whole side wall unless you're racing on high bite conditions like at the U.S. Indoor Champs. initially, racers would glue the area b/t the rim and foam to keep the foam from peeling away from the rim. but then later it was found out that gluing your sidewalls would take grip away so your car wouldn't traction roll. so really, you shouldn't glue the whole side wall unless you need to.

You can sand the 36rs, and get more runs out of them. Just meet someone with a sander, and try it out.

Only use a tire lathe.
An out of round tire will loose much needed contact and skip and shudder down the track.
Bribe the Tire Lathe guy at the track with a beverage just like you bribe the guy with the Comm Lathe to do his voodoo on your motor every week.
Go to rcpimp.com
to find rollout charts for your car and print them out to keep for reference when at the track. You'll change pinions as your tire diameters become smaller.
