i was wondering if you guys reccomend running your tires with snake shots or anyother type of BB's? my buddy runs BB's in his 1:1 crawler and i was wondering if it works for these bad boys...

Why would you put BB's in a 1:1 crawler?

Wow, I'm no 1:1 crawling guru but damn. That has to be insano expensive and wouldn't really work well would it?

I can imagine a 5 gal bucket full of BB's in each tire. Thats got to be what #150 maybe more?

I'm guessing BB's for wheel balancing and not for weight offset.  BB's really don't work well. I don't know I used to love them now I hate them. Just the noise, the fact that the tire can't be well supported thus causing it to loose traction. |

We've been filling our 1:1 rock crawler tyres up with water about 2/3rds the way up so the water leval lines up with the top of the rim.... Its a pain when you do a bead though  |

yes ihave heard of putting bbs in tires yes i have them them in mine it seems to work great it allows the tire to flex around the terrain your up against -----------now on steep hills it might hurt you because the bbss will move to the back of the tire

I didn't like the noise or the sloshyness of them. The BB's have nothing to do with the tire flexing around the terrain |

I tried Airsoft bb's in my rig - for about five minutes! The noise pert near drove me nuts. Sean |
