In the past I have complained about narrow foams slipping inside wide wheels resulting in erratic tire performance and I just wanted to post an update to this issue. Crawler Innovations has recently released a series of Lil Nova WIDE 1.9 foams which fit the wider can style beadlock wheels without any slop. These WIDE foams are available now from their web site at https://crawlerinnovations.com/lil-nova/. The WIDE Lil Nova foams are listed below the standard Lil Nova foams.
The P/Ns are;
CWR-2017 4.25 Wide Comp Cut / Soft
CWR-2018 4.25 Wide Comp Cut / Medium
CWR-2019 4.25 Wide Comp Cut / Firm
CWR-2027 4.50 Wide Comp Cut / Soft
CWR-2028 4.50 Wide Comp Cut / Medium
CWR-2029 4.50 Wide Comp Cut / Firm
CWR-2037 4.75 Wide Comp Cut / Soft
CWR-2038 4.75 Wide Comp Cut / Medium
CWR-2039 4.75 Wide Comp Cut / Firm
They also have a Heavy Weight WIDE series CWR-23xx which is designed for heavy rc crawlers and speed applications. Supports weights 10 pounds and heavier.
These WIDE Lil Nova inners came about due to customer input and the availability of wider 1.9 bead locks and cans. The inner measures 1.750" width, is Competition Cut from Heavy Weight closed cell inner foam, with a Medium conventional or open cell density outer foam. The closed cell inner foam is super dense, water proof, is not temperature sensitive and is extremely durable. The conventional outer foam is not temperature sensitive, but it is not water proof.
I recently installed a set of the CWR-2328/Med foams in a set of VP 1.9 Method 105 wheels with Traxxas Canyon Trail tires and I could not be more pleased with the results. The tire tread conforms nicely to the rocks while CI WIDE foams completely eliminate all foam slipping on the wheel and provide an exceptionaly stable tire side wall which improves side hill performance. Great new product CI, Thank You!!!! "thumbsup"
