Wheel weights?

I guess I'm gonna have to upgrade my drivetrain since everyone is saying it's hard on it!!!! Cuz I liked the way water has worked for me! I'm gonna have to try bbs tho I'll use the balance beads we use in semi tires they're small bbs and will allow u to get the exact same weight in each tire!
 
Knuckle weights all the way! Yea, they cost more but no mass to get spinning.

Those look slim and tiny compared to mine...

Close to 200g each, if I recall correctly.
 
Were talking about SCX10's not comp crawlers. You can add more weight depending on your wheel offset and hubs. The second picture is a XR10.

I just built a Deadbolt. I thought I would end up adding weight to the wheels. However, I installed the overdrive and underdrive diff gears and the thing climbs so well that I still have not put weight in the wheels.
 
I know this thread is on the older side but it's a great thread. I just added 2oz to my rear wheels and 4oz to my front wheels. 3/16 lead wire wrapped around the inside of the wheels. The torque flex is insane now, any ideas on how to lessen it?
