Upgrade tires

[K0N3R77]

Hey all
Has anyone upgraded tires on the amp buggy? Looking for some ideas want to get some pre mounted with foam inserts. Really sucks that they didn't come with foam cuz I really like the treads.

Cheers

I dont have a DB, but if your looking for the same height and width as stock then maybe Duratrax's ST. There pretty close in size.

I heard this guy can do the foam tires for lots of setups "Gone Bananas Racing Skinz". You should be able to google him and find him.

You can buy foam inserts. You'll have to trim the inside and outside edges to give them a bevel, but this is typical. It's usually a white foam.

I want to get some foam also on my next set of tires for sure and see if it helps with control and bounce of the rig.

Weird. I thought I did! Maybe another thread? Anyway, here's a link to JConcepts foam inserts. This link is to the "truck" tire inserts, I think the AMP DB tires qualify as truck-type tires. http://www.jconcepts.net/shop/and1-110th-truck-tire-insert-firm-2pc

Here's a good video on mounting tires. The segment addressing the inserts starts at 1:02.
