I wondered if anyone uses the closed cell inserts from Pro-line or AKA on 1:10th buggies on astro or indoor carpet, or does everyone just run the Schumacher inserts?

Thanks, Jon.
I use the aka ones in all my tires except blocks and mini pins. I find them to be more predictable and got faster laps when i tried them side by side with blue foams.

They are especially good on slippy floor/carpet

The tyres do seem to wear differently though with more of an angle on the spike and a little quicker.
