|  Adding Weight to Axles
I've been watching my Nylint crawl, and was thinking that adding some weight close to where the tires are would really help with crawling. i've got the articulation, but nothing that keeps the lighter tire digging for traction, these things are light as it is and im pretty positive the extra weight would help with the performance. I'll get some pics up later  |

more weight = more broken parts  BBs in the tires seems to work for me |

BBs in the tires for me as well. Self-adhesive lead weights work well too for axles and such. |

all these ideas work very well to distribute more weight to where it matters most, the tires! : ) I'm glad everyone contributed so that those who haven't thought of it yet can mod their wal mart crawlers even more : )

I have 50 BBs in each front tire and 40 in each rear one and noticed a dramatic increase in stability when climbing.
