Answer-RC are pleased to announce their entry into the 1:10 arena with a staple which they hope will show the start of 1:10 range. At first sight foam inserts may not look a very exciting concept but there is a great deal of research that has gone into these. The foam insert may at first appear to be just a ring of foam but there is so much more involved in it than that. The insert serves a vital role in supporting the tyre and functioning in a way which can help or hinder you.
Over the last nine months several top drivers have been running a variety of samples of these to nail down what works best for them in a variety of conditions. You may have originally known these as Panic RC foams.
Answer-RC are pleased also to announce that both 2wd BRCA Champ and Euros TQ taker Ellis Stafford alongside Kev Lee, John Spencer and a few other notables will be running these for 2010 and will be on hand at many meetings to assist you with foam choices.
There will be two different compounds of rear foams and three for front giving you the full flexibility to experiment and see what suits you. The foam compounds and insert size are where the secret is…
Answer-RC finally settled on the foams to be used after much debate about the properties of each. One of the inserts is a “typical†tyre foam and the other two are of a very different nature to those currently available. In short, utilising a closed cell technology and a speciality industrial foam to offer the new options. With regard the insert sizes, they opted for a fuller foam to better support the tyre for both improved side and forward bite – these are no compromise inserts.
A full range will be available including 2wd and 4wd fronts.
