|  Wheels: BB's vs Foam vs Nadda What's your choice and why? Currently I'm running nothing but Im beginning not to like it. I havent heard much about BB's..but sounds like an interesting idea, so any opinions on that would be apprecciated greatly. |

| I run memory foams and stick weights. I think the sidewalls are to soft with no foams (Moabs). and i need about 10 ounces of total weight for each wheel for my truck to work well. (10 ounces including the tire, wheel, and weights) |

| Air soft bb's are great, they add some weight to the axles and let the tires grip awesome, my $.02 Give em a shot can't hurt!  Matt |

| I'd always run stick on lead weight around the wheel, but recently changed to Airsoft BB's and really like them. Hackster says BB's are better.  |

| The plus the BB's in the wheels is the lowest posable weight for the wheel and having the bb's in there seam to help in sertin situations. |

| What scale are we talking about? Quote:
on my super there is probably 10oz in each front tire, on my 2.2 ax, i have 3-3/4 front, 2-3/4oz rear. currently running star cut/narrowed foams, however if I had a chance to do it again (and I do!), I would do a shallower star cut, and not narrow at all. Has anyone tried going scale and not running foams but having sealed tires with low pressure? just a thought... | |

| I have run air soft bbs and i dont care for them. To get the right weight you may add alot to your wheel causing the bbs to have no room to work for you. Both me and my brother have used bbs in mk2s and moabs and have found that stick on weights allow your tire to perform better. What kind of tire and wheel combo do you plan on running? How heavy your rig is and how high the center of gravity plays apart in how much weight you prefer to keep the truck stable. Thats my opinion. |
