I definitely recommend doing it. It's easy to do, cheap, doesn't take very long and will make a big difference to how smooth your vehicle runs if it's wheels are out of balance.

If you hold your truck by the roll bar and spin the wheels up to a decent speed you should see and feel the vibration if the wheels are out of balance.

Broke my last Pro-Line Pro-Pull on the weekend. The clips that come with them are nice but the pulls themselves are way too soft and the ends tear out after not much use. So i had an idea to make body clip pulls out of some spare HPI antenna tube that i had. Worked out well. Small and slim enough not to get caught up when the truck is sliding and stiff enuff in short lengths that you can pull clips out easily when the antenna tube is vertical. Punched the hole in it by flattening the end with some pliers and using a metal center punch. The tube seems tough enough that the end won't pull out of it either.
