We are very excited about these new Anti-Foams. We have been working on this design for over 2 years now, and through a lot of testing we finally have something we believe will make a big difference in the RC world. This product is 100% made in the USA and even the special filament we use is made here in the USA.
These remind me of the memory foams I’ve used in the past, but without the sidewall roll. Are any chances of other sizes being introduced? I’d love to try these for my 1.9 rigs that that run 4.20” and 3.85” tires as well as in the 2.2’s my Comp and Night Crawlers!
The age of thermoplastics and 3Dprinting is revolutionizing the RC WORLD...fantastic product ! And if in one hand we see companies pushing inovation and engineering to a all new level, on the other, average "Joe's" experiment different approaches to the same problem. Ever tried hair buns as tire inserts? Cheers mate Keep it up
Please can people stop saying this is my idea and 3Bros and Alex have stole it. We both came up with different ways of making them work and I really like the tuning rod idea! Also I don’t think mine will be mass produced like these as they rely on specific material properties which means the print times are a bit too long for me to make many of them. Please enjoy the video and be happy that you can actually buy this style of insert. I love mine and they have transformed my crawling and I hope other people are going to reap the benefits of super stiff sidewalls for sidehilling with the softest grip you can imagine for getting over stuff
I'm impressed. If I ever get into class 2 and get competitive, I'll try them. Right now I am more into rock bouncing, unlimited class and trail trucks.
You should see how they do rock bouncing, I think since they’re 2nd stage is harder than foam it could take a ton of shock out of your impacts. Might even be good for mid speed bashing when it comes to shock absorption, as long as they don’t expand too much
Yep! I've been using TPU tire inserts of my own design and creation for a couple years now. It's a little more pricey but the Colorfab 'Varioshore' is great for this. They work better than traditional foams in every way. Waterproof and infinitely tunable. If you have a 3D printer make your own and experiment with infil patterns and inner and outer diameter. Totally kicks ass.
A couple of years??? I’ve been in RC’s fir 40 yrs. not doubting you btw. But I’ve never seen anything like these. I’m blown away by reading this. Really. Although. My closet hobbie shop is 50 miles. Lol I have to do all of my shopping on the net. So I don’t see a lot of different stuff early.
@@Chon-c yes we just went public with it in August. It has been in development for a couple years. And yes I have been in RC a very long time also. But you may have me beat by a year or two? Ha, ha
@@3brothersrc418 Lol. I know. I’m old 🤦♂️🤣. But hey …Phenomenal work. 👍. I too like (and try ) thinking outside the box . & you knocked it out if the park with the first swing here guys !! The taper to the outer edge is a great attn to detail & performance ,I can tell (whoever’s idea that was lol) 👍. This will be the standard for soo many reasons. So yeah …You’ve done well. I’m just curious to the advantages with 1/8 scales and bigger /faster as in speed or rotational effects etc . And if it will (or can with the right design) fix ballooning & at a even cheaper option/way other than radials/belted ?. 🤔. It’s spurred me to print some up for 1/8 scales to try out . And I’ would advise you guys to get some of these ASAP for the new SCX6. They are deeply needed space 👍 AND WILL BE the next growing market space . But again,awesome guys !
Once you get enough for a few pairs of tires you should do stock foam vs anti foam vs anti foam with tuning rods. Things like max side hill and frontal hill angles would be interesting to compare, especially using the same car with very similar wheels and rims (if not the same wheels/rims if you have multiples 😂) 10:20 that control, the foam and tires not rolling on themselves, is really impressive. Goes right where you want 😎
Cool. Something I'll use in the future. I like that Tom has a tendency to think outside-the-box(on his motors for sure). I have a couple of his ACIS SIX staggered 6-pole non-sensored motors...its weird(and cool) that his 3000kv version is as smooth as his 1200 version.
Awesome I will be trying Some of these myself, I hate that tire roll on side hills, appreciate you sharing I’ll be following for more, love your videos they are always awesome until next time
I was wondering how those things worked the pics looked they would be extremely stiff. I am very surprised on how soft they are I definitely wanna get me a couple sets of this. Very impressive!!
I have a roll of that tpu I think I’m gonna try my hand at designing a set. It’s durable stuff it will last forever if it’s kept dry. Compliments to the printer operator. His settings look perfect
@RC CRAWL I can just make my own. Iv gotten proficient in 3D modeling over the last year and 3 months. I’m not paying 40 for a set when I can print my own set for like 6 dollars
@RC CRAWL it only delaminates if your extrusion setting is too low and if your temperatures are too low. I worked out how to print tpu in less than half a roll. The only materials I can’t print with are abs and petg
Great video definitely changed my mind about these things. When they first came out I was not in favor of them but after this video I think I am going to get some
The review I'm looking for, awesome product, I ordered the dual stage ones for my Gen 8 because it weights 7 and a half pounds, definetly a game changer!
GAME CHANGERS !!! Period! I didn’t know anything about these. I’ve been thinking foams wouldn’t last long with the last jump in material sciences changes being so new . Someone would figure out something better than foams & be cheaper. (If such a thing could happen) I’ve been looking for something else. Damn. I’m blown away. These will be the norm in comp. it’s that much better. And you can print your own with a printer?? Lol. Yeah. These will be a lot cheaper. When everyone else figures these out being so good ? They will be made by everyone ,with different designs & everything. I’ve never heard of them. But I don’t get to go to a hobbie shop but once every couple of yrs & mine being so far away.
I think, this will be the Future, replacement for foam... Good for "Side-hilling", now you don't need hard tire sitewalls... Tire rubber could be allways soft(?) 🤔
PLEASE! Make a head to head test bitween (for example) TRX 4 DEFENDER (or AXIAL SCX 10 III) with "Singlefoams" vs. "Dualfoams" vs. "Antifoams" at(in?) the same tires and same rig... Ride on and Pull the trigger! 😎
I might switch the ci’s out for these.. do they have them n 2.2’s? And I think they more they get used they will soften up some..and wonder with how u have them set up.. I wonder how they would do on a heavy vehicle? My ci’s might go into the wife’s 1.9 wraith
I need to try these out, I have the proline dual stage foam but I think they are way to large and stiff for my little sub 3 pound rig. I love the stiffer side wall (no tire roll at all) but I need more flex to conform to the terrain better.
Wow I'm really surprised how good they did. Wonder how they would do on my Gen8v2? Next question I do alot of dirty trails so how are they going to do under those conditions? Definitely looking forward to seeing what's next for the anti foams..
Those things look awesome reminds me a bit of the new no air car tyres due to come out in 2025. Think I may have to pick up a set as the stock foams in my pro line tyres just get crushed by my heavy trx4.
Question i see you vent your tires in the sidewall Were should one vent there tires with these anti foams because the inner and outer of these are solid
Ok Love your content and always look forward to new videos Looking at these inverts but have a 5.5 mud slinger and their inverts fall on the small and big size I don’t want too hard nor do I want a loose sloppy fit What would you pick? Any other manufacturers you’d recommend with the correct insert? Thanks for all the great content !!!
I run proline dual stage and with aluminum beadlocks you have to glue the inner beadlock ring to the foam to keep the foam from shifting laterally on the inner ring, did you have to do that with the anti foams? Did you get any lateral shift on the inner beadlock ring at all?
It's incredible to me how expensive these things are, but with even a basic direct drive 3D printer you can run off a set of 4 in ~24 total hours of printing and for
Why go heavier/stiffer in the front? Crawlers are always soft in front stiffer in back, from my experience at least. Just curious cause I’m ordering some so trying to get a base tune. Just 7lb rig
i have a question i just built a poizd t3 and i am looking at the antifoams i see they tell you the ones that are specific to your tire but do i need to tell them how big my rim is like the hoop is 58.5mm im running the ruptures and globact carbon fiber 1.9 wheels
I have had sets in my truck for about a year, I have tried to test them as harshly as I can. Gone though gears, axles, and tires. You'll have to rip the tire completely apart to even come close to tearing these.
Just started running these and noticed when I vent the tire at 12 and 6 some times the tires act vented, sometimes they act like they’re not vented. Wondering if it’s the smooth edge against the vent. Granted this was in class 0 tires with class 1 sized anti foams, but did you have any issue venting these?
I think the main market for those would be more towards the competition scene. The life expectancy would drastically drop on a heavier rig that rides often. My two cents.
Honestly this is a case of two people having similar ideas at the same time. Me and Alex have been chatting for a while and I love his foams. We went with really different designs and I’m amazed at how he’s managed to productionise them
11:14 is why I love rock crawlers! Super sick stall there!

This product is 100% made in the USA and even the special filament we use is made here in the USA.
Would AntiFoams resist ballooning at speed? That would be great for bashers in a size for vehicles like the Slash.

Keep it up
Finally! A reputable source doing a review in these!!! Thanks!!
They are pretty awesome, glad you like them and thanks for the support for 3brothersrc on the video!
I have a set of the anti-foams and a new set of tires. Now to get them together on rims and whip them under a tiny truck. Thanks for the info.
those are some cool foam i like how you can change the way they conform and the different weights you could put in them. Game Changers for sure
They need to work on something for bashers and drag cars. This is headed in the right direction for that.
finally some proper foams out there
.. looks like a new project for 3d printing - very nice idea!

so much for them dollar store fish net hair scrunchy these things look awesome
Also doing a Danchee build. Gonna throw some these for that little extra!! What RC park is that? Looks like Central Fl.

Those are pretty damn cool. If you look up airless tire you’ll see where the idea came from.

They are pretty sweet. Might have to get me some to check out.
Where did you find those tuning rods on their website? I can’t seem to find them on there...
Wow I'm really surprised how good they did. Wonder how they would do on my Gen8v2? Next question I do alot of dirty trails so how are they going to do under those conditions? Definitely looking forward to seeing what's next for the anti foams..
Do the tunning tubes come seperate? Very interesting. I run by the beach. Def. worth trying.

What would you pick?
Any other manufacturers you’d recommend with the correct insert?

Interesting. 💯 👌
This might be the future of foams since they don’t roll over and are fully customizable
Do they slide side to side on the wheel?
Not that I can see
Awesome!
Does the tires have side to side flop sir?
Should help with water retention as well

Im assuming that there is no need to vent the tires?
Why go heavier/stiffer in the front? Crawlers are always soft in front stiffer in back, from my experience at least. Just curious cause I’m ordering some so trying to get a base tune. Just 7lb rig
If these prove out, this could prove/ disprove tire traction comparison. Time ta get them old tire ya thought were not so good
Brilliant!
Have you tried Hair bon's? I know it sounds crazy, but they outperformed Pro-line 2 stage foam 😮
Why softer at the back than the front please ? when going uphill, all the weight of the vehicle is on the rear, right ?
Do they make these in a wider version to fit the wider 1.9 VP 105s.
Those look nice!! You forgot to mention water?!?! That could be a huge selling point if they are 100% waterproof. I assume they are being plastic.
Pretty sure water wouldn’t hurt them but I’m not 100% sure on that
i have a question i just built a poizd t3 and i am looking at the antifoams i see they tell you the ones that are specific to your tire but do i need to tell them how big my rim is like the hoop is 58.5mm im running the ruptures and globact carbon fiber 1.9 wheels

Looks great. Now let’s see how long they last 🙂
I have had sets in my truck for about a year, I have tried to test them as harshly as I can. Gone though gears, axles, and tires. You'll have to rip the tire completely apart to even come close to tearing these.
@@wblteen
Well that sounds nice. Now sent them to Europe/ Denmark so I can buy some 😄
What about trail and water?
@@Mr450pro spent all last winter testing them in northern Wisconsin where I live. The see water Everytime I'm out. They trail really well

Wondering if it’s the smooth edge against the vent. Granted this was in class 0 tires with class 1 sized anti foams, but did you have any issue venting these?
Seems like these are best suited for vehicles under 10lbs
I have run the dual stage version in an 11.5lb truck
No more water soaked foams finally
The PLU material looks like neoprene
Have you seen these on amazon?
I got the wheels from Amazon. Links in description
Do you compete with the Ecto? If so what class does it fit in?
I'm thinking as you remove the rods and they will be perfect.
REAL NICE 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
I think the main market for those would be more towards the competition scene. The life expectancy would drastically drop on a heavier rig that rides often. My two cents.
They will last much longer than foams. And even with almost 2 years in testing we haven't worn a set out yet. They are super durable.
Why go softer in the rear I always though you go softer in the front?
I like softer in the back for my truck
I want a set of these for my rr10 bomber with 2.2s on it.
How do you think these will work on a heavier truck?
Great. Ran them on the 8.6lb trx4 I’m sundays video
Breakthrough design!
With the front wheels, what is the weight comparison to a two stage foam?
Test Heavier truck?
Thanx! ~;+}>
Probably lighter depending on what’s used for the inner foam
@Phoenix RC Crawler opinion? Think @Harley Designs or @Scale Builders Guild would like them?
These are expensive yikes lol. I got to ask is that crawler area a place you made up or is it a public park?
