Sweep Racing Cloud9 closed cell Insert

After extensive testing with molded grooved foam inserts, Sweep Racing have focused their efforts on the development of new closed cell foam inserts. Closed cell foam inserts have many performance benefits over conventional designs, such as increased durability, waterproof, reduced tire deformation during cornering and lighter in weight. These characteristics make their Cloud 9 buggy insert a major improvement over their previous designs. Sweep drivers have reported increased cornering capability and improved acceleration. The Cloud 9 inserts are scheduled to arrive at dealers very soon.
