RE: Crawler Tire Weights, oppinions/experience?
DARK, perhaps 5 to 7 ounces per tire for 1 / 10..[8D]
My google search
TIRE WEIGHTS
Keeping the weight low on a crawler is key to top performance. We added 8 ounces of BB's inside of each tire.
One Tire and wheel alone = 15.7 ounces
One Tire and Wheel w / 8 oz of BB's = 16.5 oz
The beautiful thing about using BB's is that they roll and are always at the bottom of the draw, in the lowest possible position. We may adjust the weight a little at a later date but for now, this is a starting point. The Maximizer Bead Lock rims will easily allow us to crack them open and make adjustments as required.
