Default AKA 1/10th foam inserts
Anyone tried them yet? Saw them at Maritime and also noticed Inside Line Racing stocking them.

If it is the red closed cell ones mikey, they are very firm but excellently made and reusable

I've been using the 2wd fronts for a while now, really good.

I used them a few weeks back in the front of the 4WD with Schumacher yellow mini spikes on astro and really liked them, so will be trying them with ballistic greens and so forth.

Anyone tried the rears? My thoughts are that they are going to be way too hard for the rear.

I've heard top drivers use them but Dremel the centres down a bit.

They work very well in silvers. On the rear it's worth cutting out the middle two ribs.

A bit specific I know, but is anybody using AKA Red closed cell firms in dboots multibyte B compound rears on wet astro?

I'm wondering whether the firmer foam helps or hinders traction versus a medium compound open cell foam..?

Thanks.

@HarlowS,

Are they better/worse than open cell foams with Multibytes in slippy conditions or just different?

Cheers.

Im afraid i cant answer yet as i have bought some but yet to try them. But as Kevin said earlier, i would expect them to be better in a soft tyre as it will stop them collapsing so much.
