I was wondering how yours was working and how much weight you might have added? What type of material did you add to the drum for weight? BB's or? I think traction will be decent with the rubber tires although I am a bit concerned about only having the tires doing the driving. I don't think Keith and I are expecting these things to climb mountains though so it should be alright.

I've been really busy since I threw it together. Only used it one weekend in the dirt. Worked well just needed the softer tires for some better bite. I need to get the wheels, already have the tires. For the drum I filled 1/2 with BB's that were packed tight, then foam plugs sealed with silicone to hold it all still so it wouldn't rattle as it moves.
