Default Putting weights in micro tires.

What is the best way to get massive weight in 1.0 micro tries/wheels? I want to get it HEAVY!!! Since the wheel speed is slow I think a lot of weight will give me extra traction....

Ideas?

Fill tire with bb's then mount. I think that I mounted one side to the beadlock then put bb's in and put the second ring on the wheel. all of your weight will always be at the lowest point and it has worked well in my sumo and trail trekker.

There has to be a trick to it. Check in the micro crawler section.

I've tried BBs In the past, but I've gotten more weight by wrapping solder around the wheel then mount the tires. Also with the BBs I've found they sometimes move when you don't want then to move. BTW be prepared for the stock servo to die especially if you have a Losi. The MG90 and MG90s are inexpensive replacements
