When I had my losi i used to trim the inside of the foams to get a better bead while gluing the tires cuz losi has some really thick tires( the rubber ). But it's to each it's own but a losi driver told me to do so when I meet him last year at the grand prix at Rchr. And it does help try it out just don't go crazy shaving material away.
