Crushinator Foam Break-in Tool
Description
Description
- This is the ORIGINAL Foam & Rubber Tire break in tool for 1/10th scale rubber tires.
- This Crushinator 2.0 model comes with a “Stomper” wheel (under the decal in the picture) that is grooved to give added foam break in to save time and energy.
- Will work on any size tire/wheel assembly from 2.2" buggy up to SC truck.
- Utilizes a battery powered drill (not supplied) and tire break-in bit (not included, see below for link to tools) to soften the hard foams and condition the rubber on tires, achieving the desired "track-ready" feel without running the car on the track. This method enables you to have tires that are ready to run without the need for multiple practice runs typically required to break in the foams and condition the rubber to have maximum grip.
- Easy to use:
- Mount tire on mandrel (bit) and insert mandrel into drill.
- Adjust the wheel spacing by loosening wing nuts so that when tire is inserted between the three wheels the tire is being compressed. No need to make the tire fit very tight.
- With tire inserted in Crushinator, start drill to rotate tire (medium speed) in direction of tire rotation inside the Crushinator hard wheels. Generally, one to three minutes will be enough BUT varies with tire type and compound. Experimentation is key.
- After running tire in Crushinator, treat your tires with your tire sauce, and your tire is ready for your race. The key to tire conditioning is keeping copious notes of what you have done to create the best tire traction results!
- You will need a drill mandrel (also known as 'bit') to hold tire during 'crushing' process:

Got mine, it did 6 tires and it broke across the two smooth wheel mounting bolt holes.
I certainly wish I would have seen your review earlier. We see some people using them for 4+ years and hundreds of tires prepped. Perhaps it was damaged during shipment. If you return it, I will replace it at no charge, including return shipping. Include a note in the box about this problem and your return address.

The Crushinator is a must for tire prep. Product comes fully assembled, just adjust to fit your tire size. Fast shipping and fully protected with an abundance of bubble wrap to ensure safe delivery. Competitively priced with other sites and in stock. Recommend using Power Products for this product.
Brent, thank you for the review. We have made 3D printed models ourselves for testing, but we like the original Crushinator II design and quality. We sometimes have to wait on parts for a batch build but we are trying to keep up demand.

Great product I like it a lot works well.
Thanks Basil. The Team uses these for every set of tires. The Crushinator makes a difference in getting the tire ready.

Great tool for breaking in tires
Crack both sides. Where are the wing nuts tightened up on the plastic? There's just a little gap between the big hole and the notch, where the wing nut hole is
Howdy and thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with the tool. I am sending a prepaid shipping label for the return. Please email me at info@teampowerproducts.com on whether you wish full refund or exchange. Thank you for your patience!

best foam crusher i have ever used
works Great !! good investment !
My only issue is that when you adjust and tighten the adjuster knobs it seem to put additional drag on the pressure wheels. Maybe a spacer of some kind between the bolt and the bearing.
Look this is a weird tool you don't think you'll use. But after running a few sets that I have had problems getting the car to stay consistent, I was sold.
This product is awesome easy to use breaks down foam and tires quick with these
