Put "Snow Chains" on my stock Honcho tires (Not weighted) so they are not heavy.

Handled great, for a "Hobby Truck" and not a "Pro Crawler".... Fun Stuff!

See the snow flying... one handed driving, and one handed shooting....

Thick Stuff on top... but worked through it....

Had fun... sunny.. but still cold. Good Stuff. Love these Axial trucks.

Also added the Axial Aluminum Chubs and Knuckles. Added Upper aluminum links... modded out of stock Axial Posts. Front 3 / Rear 4 Link. Also raised the body after this run. Chains were rubbing under the fenders. Will dremel the nubs tomorrow, but its WAY raised now.

would it matter if the tires were weighted or not

Thanks for pointing out that no one can see them. I will try and figure it out. I read the sticky... Not good with posting pics.

And for the tires... I tried using weighted tires with the chains, but it digs too much. I found that the Non-weighted works better with in the snow. YMMV... but it works for me. Even better when there is a "Hard Crust" under a powder layer.

I did chain up my Super Swampers, and it was like I had saws on the front. HA!
