Re: adding weight for more traction?
I will have to disagree with this. My wheel base is considerably shorter than a stock king and turns so much better. This is just my opinion though.

Not sure what u did or didnt do but, it has never made a negative difference on any of my builds.... I agree, also u have 2 ways of going about it... u can out just bbs in or modify the foams by cutting the inside of them out to use just the outside thin ring as a small cushion and bbs between.. so basically it would be foam, bbs, rim |

Re: adding weight for more traction?
Thanks guys. Looks like I'm going to run bbs. Think I'll just use a straw to funnel the bbs in and fill the tire completely with bbs.

Re: adding weight for more traction?
Well guys I figured I'd come back with a conclusion for those that may be interested in this. I have completely filled all eight rear tires with bbs. I bought a 6000 count pack, and I guess I've used near 5000 of them. My traction is greatly improved and I'm very happy with the results. Thanks for the help fellas.

Re: adding weight for more traction?
That's great to hear and thanks for the update!
Did you fill the steer tires also and did you have to glue the tires to the rims after filling? I need to do the same thing to my dump truck. Front tires are too soft with a heavy load to steer and the drives squat down way too much. |
