Even cheaper, many aftermarket tires come with 2 sets of foams or over stiff foams inserted. Same process should work on them. Furthering and sharing knowledge such as this is what this hobby is all about for me. You have really good ideas. Keep'em coming.
This is a great idea! I honestly think you could get away with using the pool noodles in 1.9" and even 2.2" if you used 2 pieces as the inside foam and then maybe wrapped it with a softer outer foam. Maybe take some of the stock soft foams that you have kicking around and carefully cut them to fit over the pool noodle. Idk. Just a thought.
I use ta have hair like yours. I am 76 now and bald...good stuff, man. I sometimes cut my foams in a pointed 5 star configuration...looks like I'll be shopping for noodles.
Good idea, must check if i find a matching size one locally. (if you have to cut the inner and outer circle it might be hard, i have a foam cutter but not a good one.) Problem i see with these inserts, i have used the Injora silicone - is that they make venting the tires impossible, i have all my tires vented from the inside, holes in the rings and rims the silicone rings completely seal this - might be similar with this material. Might give it a try anyways.
When people have no clue the cost of stainless steel molds and manu.of the manufacturing parts. Not the product made . Anyway...uhmmm.beenxhete done this. The pool foam breaks down fast when squished and deformed repeatedly.besides that. For bigger Dia. Just cut the donut/slice like a cake. And add a section from another donut to make donut bigger.... simple...
There’s no reason why$0.10 open cell or closed cell foams cost $20 a set OR even $40 a set. This costs companies literally a penny to produce. It’s ridiculous. You’re thinking outside the box. I like it.
It takes money not just for foams, it takes good decisions with all around designs, and marketing.. And people now don't short change their efforts. So if you think after market foams are overpriced maybe you should try it out and not copy anything else out there lol.. good luck..
Just found your channel. I like what I'm seeing. Thanks for the ideas. Love my Toys

for the larger tires .. why not use to pool noodle as the center stiff core and the original soft foam for the outer layer .. glue together?
That's what I'm doing for some 1.9 tires right now! It works awesome! 😎
I love this. Crawler canyon does something similar

Nice! Yeah I'm enjoying the hair while I got it haha 😂. I've seen the star cuts before and have been interested

hell yeah! im pretty impressed with the results! just make sure the noodle you buy is right for the tire and wheel size.

Haha thanks! It has a mind of it's own... 🤣
Great idea, but maybe some breathing protection man. That smoke is toxic af
Thank God, no playing with the hair today for 10mins..
Jk..
I had to make a negative comment as a joke to follow suit and in name of the internet. 😂
Haha 😂 😂

Thank you! I completely agree 💯
