Overview
The PRO 1/10 Open Cell Medium Rear 2.2 inch Buggy Foam (2) represents a significant upgrade for serious RC car enthusiasts who demand consistent performance on carpet racing surfaces. Pro-Line, a recognised leader in RC tyre and foam technology, has engineered these open cell foam inserts specifically to meet the demanding requirements of competitive mod buggy racing in the UK and beyond. Whether you're running a 1/10 buggy on carpet or tackling challenging off-road terrain, these foam inserts deliver the enhanced support and responsiveness that separates weekend racers from podium finishers.
If you're serious about RC buggy racing and want to maximise the potential of your Pro-Line soft compound tyres, this Medium open cell foam is an essential upgrade. The specially formulated medium firmness provides improved support for your carpet tyres whilst maintaining the responsiveness needed for quick lap times. These foams are ideal for mod buggy racers who are pushing the absolute limits of their equipment and require more support than standard factory foams provide. When paired with Pro-Line's Z4 soft carpet compound tyres, these inserts work in harmony to deliver consistently faster lap times and improved overall handling characteristics. Available now as a pair, these foams represent excellent value for competitive RC buggy racing in the UK.
Pro-Line takes immense pride in producing quality RC tyre and foam products without compromising on materials or workmanship. Every pair of these open cell foams undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure they meet the exacting standards expected by professional and semi-professional racers. If you're upgrading your ready to run RC buggy or building a competition-grade setup, these foams are a critical component in achieving peak performance.
Key Features
- Open Cell Medium Firmness Design — The medium density open cell construction provides the perfect balance between support and flexibility, ensuring your rear tyres maintain consistent contact with the carpet surface whilst remaining responsive to steering inputs and throttle commands.
- Improved Tyre Support — These foams are engineered to provide increased sidewall support for Pro-Line's Z4 soft carpet compound tyres, preventing excessive tyre roll and deformation during aggressive cornering and allowing you to push harder without losing grip.
- Enhanced Lap Time Performance — Racers using these medium foams in combination with Pro-Line's soft carpet compound tyres consistently report faster lap times due to improved tyre contact patch stability and reduced sidewall flex, giving you a competitive edge on carpet racing circuits throughout the UK.
- Specifically Engineered for Mod Buggy Racing — These foams are purpose-built for 1/10 scale buggy rear tyres and are ideal for mod buggy classes where every fraction of a second counts in qualifying and final races.
- Pair of Two Foams — Each package contains two foam inserts, providing a complete set for both rear tyres of your 1/10 buggy, ensuring matched performance across the rear axle.
- Professional Grade Quality — Manufactured to the same exacting standards as all Pro-Line products, these foams are trusted by competitive racers and are backed by Pro-Line's reputation for quality and durability.
- Compatible with 2.2 inch Buggy Tyres — Designed specifically to fit Pro-Line's 2.2 inch rear buggy tyres, ensuring perfect compatibility and optimal performance when used with matching Pro-Line tyre compounds.
Technical Performance
The engineering behind these open cell medium foams reflects Pro-Line's decades of experience in developing suspension and tyre support systems for competitive RC racing. The open cell construction allows for optimal air flow and compression characteristics, meaning the foam responds immediately to changing track conditions whilst maintaining consistent support throughout your entire racing session. The medium firmness specification sits at the sweet spot between the softer stock foams (which allow excessive tyre deformation on carpet) and stiffer options (which can reduce grip on loose surfaces). When installed in your 1/10 buggy's rear tyres and paired with Pro-Line's Z4 soft compound carpet tyres, these foams work synergistically to keep the tyre's contact patch flat against the carpet, maximising grip and allowing for more aggressive cornering speeds. The foam's density and open cell structure have been carefully formulated to absorb and dissipate energy effectively, reducing vibration and providing the driver with better feedback through the chassis. These foams are manufactured in the USA to the highest quality standards, ensuring consistency from pair to pair so that when you purchase replacement foams, you'll experience identical performance characteristics. The medium density also extends the lifespan of your Pro-Line carpet tyres by distributing pressure more evenly across the tyre's inner surface, making this an investment that pays dividends in both performance and tyre longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these foams suitable for beginners or do I need to be a competitive racer? — Whilst these foams are engineered for competitive mod buggy racing on carpet, any RC enthusiast running a 1/10 buggy with Pro-Line tyres can benefit from the improved support and handling characteristics they provide. However, they are specifically optimised for racers who are pushing their equipment to the limits and want noticeable performance improvements. If you're running a basic ready to run RC buggy setup, stock foams may be sufficient, but if you're serious about improving lap times and handling consistency, these medium foams are a worthwhile investment.
- What is the difference between open cell foam and closed cell foam? — Open cell foam, which is what these inserts are made from, features interconnected air pockets that allow for better air circulation and more responsive compression characteristics. This design makes open cell foams ideal for carpet racing where consistent support and responsiveness are critical. The foam compresses smoothly under load and returns to its original shape quickly, providing stable support throughout your run.
- Will these foams work with other brands of 2.2 inch buggy tyres or only Pro-Line? — Whilst these foams are engineered and tested specifically with Pro-Line tyres and compounds, they can technically fit inside any standard 2.2 inch 1/10 buggy tyre. However, for optimal performance, they are recommended for use with Pro-Line tyres, particularly the Z4 soft carpet compound, as the foam support characteristics have been balanced for those specific tyres.
- How often should I replace these foams? — The lifespan of foam inserts depends on how frequently you race and how aggressively you drive. Heavy competitive racers may replace foams every few months, whilst casual racers might use them for a year or more. You'll know it's time to replace them when they become compressed and don't bounce back to their original shape, or when you notice a decline in handling consistency.
- Can I use these on the front of my buggy as well? — These foams are specifically engineered as rear inserts and are not recommended for front tyres. Pro-Line manufactures separate foam options for front buggy tyres with different density characteristics optimised for front-end handling and steering response.
- What makes the medium firmness the right choice for carpet racing? — The medium firmness provides the optimal balance for carpet surfaces where tyres must maintain consistent contact with a relatively smooth, grippy surface. Softer foams would allow excessive deformation and reduced responsiveness, whilst firmer foams would reduce grip and contact patch stability. The medium specification is the result of extensive Pro-Line testing on carpet racing circuits.
