definatly go for the tape idea. works well on my buggies, also, balancing them will help the jatos handeling at highspeeds onroad.

the tire ribrations can make shocks do funny things and even foam up your shock oil, causing exisivly loose shocks.

this is just my 0.02$ as well. i race 1/10 4wd buggies, and 1/8th 4wd buggies.

all of them are team losi, and they run like crap without balancing the tires lol
