Crawler tires

[pnwrc]

Has anyone tried running 1/10th scale rock crawler tires without foams?

Doesn't work, sidewalls aren't stiff enough to hold the tire up when given lateral pressure so they tend to fold over when turning or side hill running

what @Mike4xdriver said, you can find a few insane builds where people have made it work but it still doesn't work as well, the silicone and tpu printed options work really well tho, much more tunable than foams, but even they can be trimmed down a bit to tune them and make them work a little better

Next to nothing we used bath or hair scrunchies to fill a near voided tire. They conformed well but too little and they sucked. Were you looking for a 1:1 0psi in a tire with beadlocks or something?

There is only one kind of 2.2 capable of that. It's a rock hard injora tire. Kind of only good on a basher. Useless for a crawler. Hard as a dogs chew toy.

That very video got me interested in messing with RC again.
