Proline foams (MTR)
 
Does anybody know if those new molded foams that come with the MTR tires are any good? Will they last more than one race day (like their standard foams)?

Thank you

Good point.

isn't it a panther foam?

I have the MTR's, i have not seen the molded foams for those. Ofna makes them for the MT's but they are too wide for the MTR's. I trimmed mine.

I got some BowTies MRT and they came with molded foams.

What the material like? Mine came with the old style foams! You lucky man you!

Yea, Proline starting including molded foams with all there tires...

neweuser 01.05.2007 03:51 PM

I would love to know the material though, if they are standard stock material, then maybe not so good of a foam no matter if they are molded or not. The ofna material is different, more durable.

It looks like an option?

do they come with the 40 series as well Daf?

neweuser 01.05.2007 04:14 PM

I would think so. I'm pissed now, you know how long it took me to trim the ofna's?????????? ARG!

And now check this other nice new PL feat! Optional bead, for us wheel cutters!

Very nice! I almost did that with my cheyennes!

That's awesome Daf..

Good thinking of proline!

the foams simple came in the same package as the tires did?

Dafni 01.05.2007 05:59 PM

Yeah, they came with the rubbers, as seen in the first pic.

Nice thinking on the double bead indeed, I have always cut my truggy-style tires like that. (bandsaw works very well there, btw)

Bandsaw.. Thanks for the tip.

I saw a write-up somewhere, that person used a dremel, and set it fixed onto a certain height. My concern was that the dremels is more melting the plastic than cutting it.
