Xt wheel fix idea!

I know what you mean, before my balancing job, my truck could litterally jump down the road at full throttle... after the balance, smooth as you could expect considering it has foam in the tires

Sounds like my MT. LOL

When I balanced the wheels on my XT, I had some magnetic strip with sticky backing. I used sections of this and stuck on the inside of the wheel- worked GREAT... just in case someone needs a simple, cheap balancing material. A friend of mine glued lead weights in... he said it was a pain and the glue itself made it so they still werent balanced...

Hmmm. Awesome tip! I need to check those strips out.

As soon as I can rig up a balancer I'll give it a try also. Even if they don't turn out perfect I'll be happy with any improvement.

I finally got a chance to run a few tanks.The taped holes on the inside of the wheel worked GREAT!Almost no wobble at all.Next step is to fill holes permanatly.Great inexpensive solution to genarally crappy wheels.im thinkin shoe goo but not sure what else would work.
