I Didn't Use Bb's For Mine, I Used Stick On Tire Weights From My Work. I've Got About 3-4 Ounces In Each Front Tire And It Works Pretty Good.

I stuck the weights around the inside of the rim. It adds weight to the front tires and keeps them down on the ground for better traction and more weight distribution to the front.

cool idea at least we don't have to worry about balance since crawling is so slow |

i think BB's would be better because they stay even LOWER than the stick on weights that rotate with the tires... the bb's would just stay at the bottom of the tire .
