[QUOTE="RustyC, post: 579380, member: 1997"] 38 x 12.5 sx in the buggy. 17 gallons in each front tire. The buggy, rear engine, is very close to 50/50 before adding the water. So far the only weak part to show up is a unit bearing but it had been raced on and trail miles too. I noticed back during the winter when on a smooth ledge (think boatramp) that the rear tires would spin and dry the water from the center of the tread while the fronts would just spin and stay wet. I added the water and notice the traction is much better but it does seem to suck up the hp. I'm running a 4.3 th350 205 and 5.13 gears, the added traction has me wanting more hp really bad. I think adding another 100 to the 200 I've got should do nicely. I do not notice any sloshing or anything. I t is odd to be used to your tires slipping/spinning on stuff and now they don't a lot of the time/ [/QUOTE]
