Default Rear Drag Foams 1/10 scale

Cal & I have been mounting & truing our tires for quite some time & have been purchasing rear drag foams for our use. We have just got another bunch in & mounted up about 12 pairs for our cars & we will sell off some of the extras foams. The foams are about 3.75 tall & 2.5 wide. I think that is close to the measurement. The foams are actually Nitro foams that we cut down to electric sizes. It can be used for Nitro or Electric, if electric there is just more truing to get it to the smaller diameter. This is foams only! You will need your own rims & need to mount & tru up the tires. The foams are $11 a pair & I think we got about 10 pairs we can sell. If you got old 1/10 tires that the rims that are still good don't throw them away, strip the foams & reuse the rims. If you have any questions please let me know. Its not hard to do, just takes a little time.

Hi all racers. I have just got a conformation on the 1/10 drag foams I have ordered. I was just notified that the foams are on back order & my order is expected to ship in 4-5 weeks. If you have already given me your rims I will mount them up once I get the foams in. Currently I'm out of all drag foams & can not do anything until the foams come in. I'm very sorry for the delay. I hope everyone has tires for the next race & may be the test & tune. I have 40 pairs coming in which should be more than enough to build all the tires that have been ordered. If you want to have tires done for you please let me know. If you have 1/10 rims keep the rims & remove the old foams. We can remove the foams for you but there will be a small charge for that. If you want info on how to remove the foam from the rim call or e-mail me & Ill give you the info. Again sorry for the delay, I didnt see it coming. I think most of the foams at the distributer were mounted up for the World Finals in Texas next week. Again our tires are hand glued, hand cut, & hand trued. We can cut the hight to your spec, & we can even narrow the rim if you want. I don't know exact pricing yet until I get billed & know what the shipping is.

Aloha,
Ace

Update on the tires. Just got word that the foams are being cut this week. Once cut they will send me samples so I order correct hardness/softness foams. Once the samples get here I will complete the order that day. Still hoping to get them in within 2 weeks.

Aloha,
Ace

Sample foams just shipped. Once I get them Ill order the 60+ pairs about 30 pairs have been ordered by racers. Sorry for the delay, I was waiting on the foams to be cut by the water jet guys & it took forever. Now I need to pick which batch I want. Once the foams are in Ill let everyone know & start mounting up. Ill reconfirm sizes before truing the tires up.

Aloha,
Ace

Foams are here! Ill start gluing up tires, & start filling the orders that have been placed. If you ordered tires & have given me rims Ill get to those first & call you before truing to your size. If you know how tall you want the tires let me know. Ill try & get the tires done before the next T&T.

Aloha,
Ace

Tires are done. UPDATED LIST
Ryde- Done
Walter - Done
Steve o- Done
James - Done
John C- DONE
Randy - DONE
Cal - DONE 1 pair. I got tires we can use no worry.
Daniel Need to true yours down. Ill do that when I cut my tires later in the week.

These foams look good! Been real happy working with them, I think this may be one of the best we have tried yet. These foams cost slightly more that what I had previously.

Im going to figure cost out & let you know. It will be slightly more than the previous tires.

Aloha,
Ace
