FAQs
What are these sponge inserts for?
These are replacement or upgrade inserts for 1.9-inch RC crawler tires, designed to improve traction and sidewall support for better off-road performance.
How do I adjust the size of the insert?
The insert is made of three pieces. You can adjust its size by reconfiguring or potentially trimming these pieces to fit your specific tire's internal dimensions within the 55-119mm range.
Will these work with any 1.9-inch RC tire?
They are designed for 1.9-inch RC crawler tires with an outer diameter generally between 55mm and 119mm and a height around 40mm. Fit may vary slightly depending on the tire's specific bead lock design.
What is the difference between the inner and outer sponge material?
The inner part is a closed-cell foam providing firm sidewall support, while the outer part is a softer foam designed to maximize grip and conform to surfaces.
Can I choose the color of the sponge?
No, the color of the sponge is random (gray + black) and cannot be specified by the customer.
How many inserts come in a package?
Each package contains 4 sponge inserts for 4 wheels.
Do I need any special tools to install these?
Standard RC tire mounting tools are typically sufficient for installation. No specialized tools are usually required beyond what you would use for normal tire changes.
Troubleshooting
Tire appears too soft or collapses on the side walls.
Ensure the inner closed-cell portion of the sponge is properly seated and providing adequate support. If necessary, re-assemble the insert, making sure the pieces are snug and correctly aligned.
Insert does not fit snugly inside the tire.
Adjust the three pieces of the sponge insert to better match the internal dimensions of your specific tire. You may need to trim a small amount from the foam if it's slightly too large, or reconfigure the pieces for a tighter fit.
Reduced traction after installation.
Verify that the soft outer cell is oriented correctly to make maximum contact with the ground. Ensure the tire is properly seated on the bead lock and that the insert is not preventing the tire from deforming naturally on terrain.
