Have you been driving in wet conditions? If so, do what ford27 did. Well, drill holes in the tires themselves. Just small ones right in the center of the tire. Centrifugal force will fling the water out of the tires and help them run more balanced.

It takes very little water to upset MT tires.
 
It's a Monster truck, the tires are going to wobble.
You can try balancing them with modeling clay. It works very nicely.
 
no being a monster truck is not the answer.. i fixed the problem buy bitching to hpi on the phone there sending me a new set of rims and tires free.. but in the mean time i changed them out with the jumbomaxx insane big tires and rims i got.. no wobble at all.. seems its a defect in the hpi 7in tires..
