Key Features
- Lateral Cut Internal Grooves — The innovative lateral cut internal groove design creates channels within the foam structure that allow for improved flexibility and energy distribution during cornering, resulting in more predictable handling and reduced tyre roll.
- Improved Traction and Cornering Consistency — The V2 foam formulation provides superior grip across a variety of track surfaces, from loose dirt to packed clay, while maintaining consistent cornering feel lap after lap, which is essential for competitive racing where repeatability determines winners.
- Championship-Proven Performance — These foam inserts have won 2 x 1/10 National Championships with elite racers Ty Tessmann and Dakotah Phend, proving their effectiveness at the highest competitive levels, and have been chosen as the official Reedy International Off-Road Race of Champions spec foam for two consecutive years, testament to their superior engineering.

Technical Performance
The Pro-Line V2 1/10 Closed Cell Rear Foam Inserts represent the pinnacle of foam insert engineering for 1/10 scale RC buggy racing. These are closed cell foam inserts, meaning the cellular structure is completely sealed, providing consistent performance characteristics and superior durability compared to open cell alternatives. The specific formulation of the V2 foam has been engineered to provide the perfect balance between compliance and support, allowing the tyre to conform to track irregularities while maintaining structural integrity through aggressive cornering manoeuvres. The lateral cut internal grooves are strategically positioned to distribute load evenly across the foam structure, reducing stress concentration and preventing premature degradation. Each pair of inserts is designed to work seamlessly with standard 2.2 inch buggy rear tyres, providing optimal support without adding excessive weight or stiffness. The closed cell construction ensures consistent performance regardless of moisture exposure or temperature variations commonly encountered during RC racing sessions in the UK. These inserts have been validated through competitive use at the highest levels, including national championships and international racing events, confirming their reliability and performance characteristics under real-world racing conditions.
