3D Printed RC Crawler "Foams" with flexible filament ... they actually worked ... amazingly well!

- Yes, it really does say 3D Printed Foams in the title, and yes they really are made out of flexible filament. I couldn't believe how well my crawlers worked with them either and looking forward to testing them on my trail trucks as well.
If you want all the benefits of a soft foam with the hard sidewalls of a closed cell foam, both at the same time, then these definitely work!
In the video I put them in some Pro-Line Trenchers but some of the footage is from testing them in JConcepts Landmines too, I just forgot to call it out on the video.
Let me know what you think in the comments?

Fantastic idea. This could be just what I've needed in order to vent my wheels and not worry about water ingress.
Nice to know there are people that are that serious about scale crawling. I wonder if this scales up.
Your car works amazingly well. Very nice!
You can really see that overdrive workin hard, your tire foams really compliment the entire system. Great idea
Dude, we need more videos from you.😊
Working on it!
Excellent idea , thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Could the be the answer to nany issues, top work 👏
OMG wow i love it!!!
could easily be the best foams on the market
I agree. Just ask 3brothers rc 😂😂
Absolutely awesome! Sign me up.
Great idea! Subscribed!
Miss your videos buddy , hope all is well and life is treating you favourably 🎄
Printing out some of these as we speak - I take my Capra in water occasionally and squeezing out foams is a big ol' pain in the butt. I like that I don't have to worry much about water damage and I can just drain them.
Straight Up Genius!! Pun fully intended...Ive been rc crawling for 13 years and this is one of the best ideas ive seen in awhile. Great job 👍 👍 I wonder how the hair net would do around the 3d printed foams?
A follow up on this is needed soon ;)
Working on it, currently still settling into a new life now we’ve managed to move house
I've been following you on these and was a little surprised (maybe??) to see similar product released in the states for sale recently. Nonetheless I can say you were the first I ever witnessed trying this technology and I thank you for your innovation. I'd love to try to print some of these myself and tune them to my vehicle as you have yours. I'd love to know if you ever make your stl file available. Thanks again for great work!
Sorry the STL won’t be available, but the foams are available for purchase from: justscalin.company.site
Nice work! The combination of supple outer and stiff inner seems pretty close to spot on. I do wonder if it could be structured to resist side load while allowing more splay than equivalent foam. Like having really tall closed cell inners but without the stiffness in the middle.
Great idea! That's definitely going to be my next step if they turn out durable long term. I've certainly been surprised by them and have pulled off moves that I would have killed a normal foam trying
It will be easy to beat a normal foam in durability. Nothing to lose with this project imo!
Very impressive
You should put them in to production
How much for a set of the 1.9" to fit 120mm tyres please.
Love the design and the ability to water trail and rock climb without worrying about wet foams. What material and when is the print file gonna be available ??
It’s eSun TPE 85A which is quite hard to print with. Not sure about files yet, needs more testing
@@JustScalin Hi Mate, count me as +1 who’s waiting for the print file. Appreciate what you’ve shared, I’ve learned a ton from your videos. Thanks.
Fill your boots with the file: www.thingiverse.com/thing:5261624 :)
I printed this for 1.9 cañón trail trx4 but is more small need rescale? 2 u have desing for 120mm and 1.9?
Impressive r&d work! Undoubtedly will eventually take over from regular foams. I'm based in Leeds and I'm guessing your local as most of your crawling videos are local to me. When and where are the local crawling groups? Cheers, Scott
Sorry, I've recently moved to Northumberland. Check out Facebook for local groups and you want to look at Little Almscliffe, Almscliffe Crags, Cow & Calf Rocks for locations. Also I have a load of videos with Leeds locations too
Great idea,look like they work well, nice crawling spot too, where about’s is that?
It’s a mix of spots, the last section is West Nab near Holmfirth / Meltham. The others are Little Almscliffe and Bridestones
I'd love to try out your design in my 1.9 tires.
Well you can as they are now for sale: justscalin.company.site
ok this is sweet! when will you have these files up on a site?
The last few sets of files I’ve put up caused headaches so it’ll be after I’ve proved to myself that I’m happy with them. No timeline as yet unfortunately
Fill your boots with the file: www.thingiverse.com/thing:5261624 :)
Great concept, really like the idea. Do run the tyres vented or unvented?
They are vented tyres. The material is waterproof
If you ever need another tester for these I’ll volunteer...
Been wanting print some any tip on how to size these for the pro line tsl super swamper 2.2 with a 5.4 height and a 2.05 width. Can't wait try these out
I printed this for trx4 and is more litte that de real foam u have rescale desing or other desing for 120mm tires?? 2 thx for work they work fine un 103mm tire suoerswamper
Love the vids bud , but please put a worthy body on that class chassis :) sorry but the Jackson Pollock paint job is a bit Head Shop for my liking :) unreal chassis and build though 10/10
I like the body, it's definitely going to stay. Feel free to choose whatever you want for your truck though :)
@@JustScalin , if you like it , that’s all that matters JS , Individuality in this hobby is what it’s all about , I like what you’ve done with the chassis and it’s what’s inside that counts really 🤓
I love this concept. How do you get more information about how I can get these!! Great thinking dude!!!!
Not for sale yet but might make some in small batches
@@JustScalin please keep me in mind please..... i run class 1 tires, would love to make some videos using them. I'm running a TF2 Goodrich Edition at the moment
In the Midwest US we are starting to see tires like this on commercial equipment like lawn mowers and small farm tractors
Wondering about coating with like the cosplay folks do with PlastiDip? Thanks for sharing and neat to see the design.
That’s a nice idea, although it would mess with the fitment a bit and probably flake off
So 3brc came out with those...boom racing has them in the tube too. Lets hear some News , please.
Yeah, I talk to the supplier of the 3brc ones a lot, he's a great guy
Super 👍
Wo gibt es die STL von den TPU Foams?
Nun ist es ja schon was länger her....
Willst du die den überhaupt zur Verfügung stellen.....?
Ciao
I’m sorry don’t even know the language in order to use google translate. Can you ask again in English please?
Is this for 1.9" tires ? Great vid
Yep for 1.9. Search for NotFoams on Thingiverse for files
Will you be providing these maybe Etsy store
Great...I always wondered why not more folks do this. One question:How heavy is the truck you tested?
I was running them in a 2.7kg truck. Had friends with trucks weighing from 2.5-4.5kg testing them out. Seem pretty universal so far but they can be varied for different “stiffness” if needed
@@JustScalin what filament in specific do you use?? Temperature and velocity of the print?
It’s a soft TPU and printed quite hot at about 230c and velocity pushed as fast as I can get a successful print, but don’t remember the exact settings
Soo? News on the stl file front ?
Out of interest, what 3D printer are you using to print these foams?
Those were amazing, your crawler looked like a mountain goat. Wonder if they could be printed in TPU?
TPU is just a form of TPE so yes they can :)
Are these available to download or buy as a stl or printed? I dont see them on your links.
The STL won’t be available but the foams are available here: justscalin.company.site
Fill your boots with the file: www.thingiverse.com/thing:5261624 :)
You say the filament Was?
Is the stl file available somewhere? Like to give these a try.
Thank you.
No, sorry
Well...on mytinyfactory are files available for 1.55,1.9 and 2.2" inserts 😊
@@themountain59 Someone copied Just Scalin' and 3brothers. Mashed them together and posted it.

How can I borrow your STL file? I'd like to print some for my SCX6.
No, sorry

Awesome!!! Thank you ☺️
How's it going?
Still having problems moving house so not made videos for a while, but these foams are going strong and work really well
@@JustScalin I understand what you mean. Family, construction site, relocation, job ... Hobby is difficult to do there.
Where are you ?
Sent you a message on FB
Ok, where is the STL file?
I’ve stated many times the STL won’t be available. You can buy the foams from my shop though justscalin.company.site

@@JustScalin You sir are the MVP!
@@JustScalin Once I print these, you will be tagged as the creator of these individual NotFoams. I have no desire to stress my printer making more than what I need for myself. Thank You!
Great idea. They remind me of the airless military tyres czcams.com/video/n3cLR78mXTE/video.html Your next job is to print a complete wheel and then bond on a grippy rubber tread
I’m really getting tired of foams. For the price there has got to be better options.
