Hey Tom, guessing you were talking about stock wheels. Do have stock wheels that have been cut down and narrowed slip-ons. Been playing with silly-foams, but not happy with results. Got different foam today, maybe this kind will work.
thanks for the imput .................... Peter

Hey nosub, I'm sure there are other sources, but the guy I got some from before is a guy on Ebay, his username is sluggoslots, or sluggo_slots...something along those lines.  He always has them for sale on there.  Ron (Bondo)  |

Hey guys, was in a paint store yesterday and got a package of small paint rollers, 3 for 1.-. Foam seems alittle soft but is tight or dense, not sure what to call it. Very smooth compared to others I've tried. Tried stuff from craft stores and garden shops sell foam for kneeling on. One was to light and kept ripping from wheels other just couldn't get to shape right.
Going to try Ebay and see if I can find guy, Ron mentioned.
thanks guys .......... Peter

Hey Pc..I have some of the donuts from that guy here. VERY affordable, and Sluggo is VERY well known in the HO world for his premade tires, and the donuts are the same ones he uses. So I figure they gotta be good! Altho you did give me some ideas for places to look for other foam to use to. Ron (Bondo) |

This coming race has minimun weight restrictions. 25 Is the number for the T/F. Has anyone gotten a T/F near this number ? In particular an AW T/F ? After seeing the weights for the upcoming race I re-did AW T/F body. Took it down to plastic and then thined what I could and removed what I thought was not needed. Chassis has some lightining. Body and chassis together weigh in at 26.5g's. I don't see anything left to get a gram and a half from. If anyone has any ideas on this please let me know. tia ................ PC I weighed both my T/F and M/FC today. My T/F weight is 26 grams even the only thing I have done it switch the arm in it. It also weighed 26 grams before I switched arms. My M/FC weight was 24 grams before I changed the arm in it. It still wieghs 24 grams. Im not sure how yours weighed so much before you some lighting of things But thats were mine sit is at 26 grams even goin to take it apart and seen what to cut out. Also my M/FC to. |

Hey Guys, working on a couple of Modern Funny Cars and I was wondering what would be the brushes to run? I also want to try my hand at making some silly foam tires, where can I find the foam rubber blanks that are pre-cut and ready to mount? Thanks for the help - dragfool
