The foam these tires are made out of are the same purple type Nic Case uses in his 160mph car. I am sure John at bsr knows what he is doing. He is the best tire mounter around and multiple guys with speed cars use him. A solid rubber tire would be too heavy and probably cause other problems. We will see how it tracks at speed. I noticed alot of the blow overs were from either a wheely or a tire balloning(growing) causing a lift off. I have the punch control set at 90% to help with the wheelies and obviously no tire balloning. The test body is going to be different from the run body as I dont want to have to buy another if I thrash it. Once I know everything is good I will start using the actual run body which I will be painting next week.
Heres some pic with a messed up body that I bought off ebay that the holes were not drilled in the right spots. I guess it will work for this project as I am going to use clear packing tape to hold it on for now. The slipstream body is longer and will fit alot better.
