Their relationship with the [[Los Santos Vagos]] is largley "hit-or-miss" and presumably rocky; this is becuase the Ballas and Vagos are natural enemies on the streets (and will act with hostility upon spotting each-other), but briefly collaborate for mutual interest in the drugs trade - especially in relation to Big Smoke's crack empire. The Ballas also collaborate with [[CRASH]], primarily for street intelligence. In addition, the Ballas are hired by [[Big Smoke]] to act as protection and security for his crack empire. Unlike the GSF, the Ballas have no reservations about making money by selling drugs; the spread of crack cocaine into the Grove Street community is part of their strategy to wipe the GSF out. | ||
The Ballas briefly control the streets of [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] alongside the Vagos after Grove Street leader [[Sweet|Sean "Sweet" Johnson]] is gunned down and arrested. They control the influence of the Families by using crack cocaine to turn GSF members into hopeless addicts totally dependent on them. However, following the release of Sweet from prison and the return of [[Carl Johnson]], the Grove Street Families dominate the Ballas. The Ballas' Crack Palace is heavily demolished by Officer [[Frank Tenpenny]], resulting in significantly reduced influence by the Ballas in Los Santos. The Ballas are seen with purple bandanas, black skullcaps, knee high socks and flip-flop sandals, khaki pants and dark blue chore coats. | The Ballas briefly control the streets of [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] alongside the Vagos after Grove Street leader [[Sweet|Sean "Sweet" Johnson]] is gunned down and arrested.

Although they are seen with [[Voodoo]]s in some missions, the Ballas only have two Gang Cars, the [[Tahoma]] and the [[Majestic]]. The Tahoma is a lowrider and sometimes appears with Hydraulics. On one very important occasion the Ballas use a green [[Sabre]] to try and murder Sweet, however instead they end up killing his mother [[Beverly Johnson]]. | Although they are seen with [[Voodoo]]s in some missions, the Ballas only have two Gang Cars, the [[Tahoma]] and the [[Majestic]].
