When running foams remember a few important things....

- adjust chamber for tire wear, caster changes may also dictate chamber changes

- you want to avoid applying traction compound to the outer 1/4 of your front tires. this is the very easiest way to induce tracton rolling

- stay away fron cheaper "American" (green, blue, red, double blue) compounds, you may save a few bcks now, but the traction and longevity of your foams just won't be the same as with "exotic" (pink, purple, d. purple, plaid) compounds.

- For electric sedans start with plaid fronts, and purple rears, if less steering is needed goto D.purple fronts.

- For 1/12th start with purple/grey for carpet, purple/pink on asphalt...
