Default Foam inserts???

What foam inserts do people tend to use in 1/10th off road when running schuey minispikes and ballistics??

Ive always used standard schumacher blue inserts but wondered what other people use??

I know a number of racers using Mr O inserts but which ones??

Thanks

Have always run the Mr O inserts since they became available and find them consistently good and don't seem to disintegrate like some others.

I always run the extra wide one in the rear on any tire other than a schumacher silver or Dboot when the chubby insert seems to work best. Then a firm front for both 4wd and 2wd.

Hi JCB I've just had a look at these inserts, have you tried the dual density ones. What situation do you think they'd be good?

I'm a big fan of Mr O inserts, between the options there is always a 'right one' and they're very reasonably priced.

Most often now I'm on a 45mm blue/medium rear insert and a firm/firm chubby on the front depending on grip levels. I'm still learning with this but in 4wd I use a firm on grass but a firm chubby on astro. The reason being I think I can feel the steering more with the stiffer tyre, like you can do with a 2wd front tyre say. Grip is rarely an issue on astro so if there is any loss of sidebite I don't really mind.
