You can check Futaba Pro Shop and see if they have any in stock. * The have double pink and pink foam dougnuts

Or save yourself the hassle and buy an IRS axle and then you can run BSR tires in the rear. Front requires no changes.
Why do you recommend the double pink or pink foam instead of any one of the newer varieties offered by Yokomo, JFT, or Ulti? For instance, the Ulti X foam or the JFT S compounds? Just curious as it seems weird to me that someone with access to some of the best foam being produced these days is recommending somewhat older compounds. Are the newer compounds not popular in Japan?
