Default What foams/inserts to choose for 1/10 buggy on astro with Mini-pin/spike ?

Going to drive XB4 1/10 4WD buggy only on grippy astroturf for outdoors-season, using Schumacher Mini-pins/spikes.

A: So what foams for grippy astro,
with Schumacher yellow Mini-pins/spikes on dry astro ?

B: And what foams for wet astro conditions with blue Mini-pins/spike ?


-Last season I used Proline Closed cell with yellow mini-pin/spike front and rear with the B44 on dry grippy astro.
But up for other ideas/experiences ? Aka reds ?

Maybe I`ll try the aceton-technic to re-use rims and foams, then durability is also a question ?


-On wet astro I felt that the softer Schumacher medium standard foam insert was more grippy, that proline closed cell was to hard/firm.
Thinking maybe the JConcepts medium closed cell could be perfect, stable/stabile driving like Prolines, but a bit softer durable insert ?
Ideas/experiences ?


F.ex how would you arrange these inserts in hardness ?
And then durability/re-use ?

JConcepts Firm closed cell
Proline Closed cell
Aka red closed cell
Jconcepts Medium closed cell
...any forgotten...



Experience with 2WD rear tires/foams are also welcome,
even though 2WD is a little lighter car than 4WD,
so probably can go for softer foams ?
