I didn't care about balanced wheels in buggy and also in TC. Get a life.

Ok i was only asking a simple question. Dont spit ya dummy out..

The thing is though you could have a perfectly balanced wheel, (lets take a B4 proline front) after 1 lap the wheel is so bent its unreal, i have one that will have 0 deg camber at one point, rotate it 90 deg and it has 2.

You will go faster if you dont crash

yehh well im working on that lee hehe. That was the other point i was going to bring up. How the proline wheels are never straight. One of the reasons i went to JC wheels. There actually straight which means i can glue the tyres up a lot better.

I do agree there BJ, the first time rich and i used them we could not believe the difference. It was a novelty to have straight wheels (well you get my drift) they are still round

Ben with you saying Tom and Neil Cragg doing that with wheels i see it being at a natonal too obviously outdoor. Tom doing this at Batley which is mainly grass too can it make that much of a difference or is it more psychological? Im not dibbin at the guys for doing it in all fairness somthing thats true-er will work better merchanically but in off road it cant make that much difference!

Im with Col

im with col and garry on this one as welli would have thought there's plenty off flex in tyre's to cope with a bit of wheel wobble
