Help! Cant find foam inserts!

[rc10mike]

I need a large diameter (5in) foam insert for my 2.2 Wheely King tires. All 2.2 inserts I found are made for smaller (4in) 2.2 tires. Imex is the only company I can find that makes large 2.2 tires, but the dont sell the foams seperate :(

Anyone know any other options?

Make your own. My dad made some for a pair of proline tires that didn't come with foams. He went to the local fabric store and picked-up some foam that looked and felt right. We brought it home, trimmed-it, and it works better than the foams in my holeshots that have a tendency to flatspot.

Yeah, I just might have to do that!

I make my own foam to fit my swamp dawg tires. Lasts much longer than the stock foam and longer than proline ultra.

When we made our own for some tract-a-gators for my dad's evader, we cut the insert a little too long then put it in their. We made it longer so the foam would be "crammed" into the tire and make the foam density much greater.
