Tony Phalen February 2, 2012 New RC Cars and Parts 87 Views

Panther Tires is excited to release our latest product, the F917 Orange Closed Cell Foam for 1/8 Buggy and 1/10 Short Course tires.

This new insert is precision cut with contoured channels that allow more flex in the insert providing more stability, consistency and faster lap times. The channels are reduced near the sidewalls to keep the sidewall stability to provide more balanced turning. Coming in at a lean 10 grams each, these inserts will help reduce rotating mass on your 1/8 Buggy or Short Course Truck. Foams are a major tuning option and should never be overlooked when trying to reach the fastest laps at the race track.
