RC Car tyre foam - where can I get them?

[qristeele]

Hi All,

I'm looking for sponge foams. It doesn't matter if it comes in a big flat piece as I intend to cut it myself. Am looking for something like these:

Something like the pink one.. Flexible enough to roll.

Am I better off looking for them at Artfriend or Spotlight? I don't have time to try both places. Or anywhere else I can get them? TIA!!

p.s. I'm using them to replace the worn-off foam on my RC car tyres.

always thought they use rubber, now use foam?

Think these foam are used as filling for the rubber tires...sort of a packing.
A replacement for air in 1/1 cars.

Yeap, the tyre itself is rubber but the filling is foam.. Looking for foam to fill them up as mine is pretty worn.
