| beadlocks and water weight
tryed a fill of water on my axial beadlocks today, they seem to be holding water pretty well!!! i filled mine all the way up and my steering is a little slower and with only the fronts it likes to endo alot, but i was making lines easy that i had to really work for before the water i think it may be too heavy but i gotta run it out and see how she does fill up the backs to distribute the wieght bias so anyone else try this? oh and im also running the foams for a damper effect on the sloshing you would typicaly experiance |

only problem I could see with water is it sloshing around in the tire throwing the truck off a line, maybe water soaked foams to control that, but I haven't really noticed a difference after my truck went swimming |

I´m running 100ml in my fronts, works like a charm! Erickssons w. moabs, no foams atm. |

The only problem I'd see with filling the tires with water is that water is incompressable, so your tires won't squish anymore. Why not just BBs or lead weights, seems like less mess. my 2 cents |

That and I think you will get alot of hopping with no holes in the wheels???? Also what types of foams are you using, i have known proline foams to degrade quite a bit once they get wet... |
