It seems that our federation for this year will choose foam tires for the championship.
Since I have never been involved with foam tires, can you please recommend some options?

Tracks are all outdoors, very large! and usually dusty :( (Teemu Leino knows :))

Good thing is that same day will be 1/8th On road so traction will be there.

Thank you

Never tried foam with electric outdoors, however, the Italians used to run foam outdoors, maybe you should try and contact Francesco Martini or some other Italian team driver.

But I can imagine that, as we did with foam indoors, the following tips could be helpful:

Stiffer springs and heavier shock oil

High front roll center, low rear

Lower ride height

Anti-roll bar front or no anti-roll bars

Front diff

Wider front-end

Are you referring to aluminum suspension parts? All suspension parts should be in the stiffest possible configurations but preferably plastic. Arms in XH, C-hubs, rear hubs and steering blocks in H.

I think a good starting point is 37 shore front and rear. 35 and 40 are good options.
