another exemple of monting position and what I've try to prevent the foam from splitting.

Left one is mount on the inside lip Right side is mount normal (temporary)

Nard Cox · 05.03.2010, 08:18 AM

Yeah, I believe I've seen those pics on the Traxxas forum as well :)

I like the inside look more.

ANGRY-ALIEN · 05.03.2010, 10:20 AM

Yep

... that looks much nicer than the original mounting position.

Cut badlands on LPRs....I did this set over 2 years ago IIRC

Nard Cox · 05.03.2010, 03:26 PM

Did you actually cut a piece of off the tire?

What about this washing method Arct1k mentioned concerning the foams? How does this work?

Anyone can help me with this one?

Had the foams in water for over 24 hours but they didn't change :(. If the above doesn't work does any one have a recommendation about which inserts to buy?

gtxracer · 05.03.2010, 03:36 PM

Yep, cut it off. No worrying about anything. Those tires ran goooood.

Nard Cox · 05.21.2010, 05:49 PM

Anyone any tips on the above?

Really want these tires up and running again. Buying new foams will cost me around $20 which is a bit steep seeing I only paid $40 for these tires, with foams on dish wheels. Who can give me a goldon tip / link?

bdebde · 05.21.2010, 09:42 PM

Did you try the heat gun or hair dryer trick on the foams? If that won't do the trick, new foams is about the only option.

Chadworkz · 05.21.2010, 11:12 PM

You can run the Badlands on the Pro-Line LPR wheels (same size as Rulux Half-Ups) or the Pro-Line VTR wheels.

Nard Cox · 05.22.2010, 04:24 AM

@ bdebde, I've put the hair dryer on the foams for like a minute but nothing happened. No idea how long I should point it at one spot?

@ Chad, yeah I know, but the rims arn't the problem, it's those damned foams :(. These were molded foams which are more expensive.

If I'm going to buy new ones, any suggestions??

PATF100 - PANTHER STANDARD MT FOAM INSERTS (4) WHITE
PATF145 - PANTHER TRUGGY FOAM INSERTS (4) WHITE
Or any suggetions from LiquidRC or eBay?

Chadworkz · 05.22.2010, 02:17 PM

Ofna yellow molded foams (LPR if you use JC Rulux Half-Ups or Pro-Line LPRs or VTRs)! I have run them in various setups, including the standard MT size as well as the LPR size in both LPR wheel/tire combos and Rulux Half-Ups/Badlands MT combos.

Nard Cox · 11:18 AM

Chad, which one ? (100 / 104 or 106) ? Can't wait to try them on my RC8Te on this BMX park:

Will also order my Ofna 21067 there so I can get my STe back up and running.

nice

...

Nard Cox · 06.07.2010, 05:15 AM

Thanks Alien.

In the mean time I ordered the foams @ Amain and have received themand man are they different from the stockers :o. Anyway, I ordered 81106 truggy foams, but I have two questions:

1. What's the difference in the colors of the foam? They feel the same as far as I can tell.

2. Are these the right ones

?
I ask the 2nd question because they seem to be regular 3.2'' MT foams (they fir the Badland perfectly) and not 3.7'' foams (altough the sticker implies that they are 3.7''). Getting the foams on is a HELL of a job (it makes putting Badlands + my normal foams seem like a walk in the park) and getting the Badlands on the right spot on the rim is hard. Glueing them seems near impossible

Perfect fir on the BadLands with normally have a 3.2'' rim:

The foam that I had before was way bigger:

Hard to see but the Rulux Half Ups are way bigger than the hole in the Ofna foams.

All pictures

Did I receive the wrong foams or is it really THAT hard to put them on.
