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. |
