Has anyone considered belting for their off road tires? I've been considering this idea for my off road tires for some time now. In some ways it could be good for your tires to expand on the straight if it's long enough as essentially this is like running taller gearing. I know I'm obsessing a bit but it seems like an easy experiment. I think I will try it with a set of Panther switch rears and bobcat fronts in clay compound. I plan to use kevlar thread I picked up from amazon usually used for fly tying. The attached video shows a glue called power poxy which I plan to also pick up.

Thanks for everyone's input!

Also please share your favorite balancing tools. Thanks!
