Brandon, this has probably already been asked but I couldn't find it. I have a RTC with stock Hammers on it. I have drilled two holes into eack wheel and I want to add weight. I have a CS-170 servo. How much weight do you rec for the fronts and rear? I also have a FXR and a new
Futaba PM-X on the way.

I think the weight of your rig is all about your driving style
i personally tried a light rig and i love it
you id start with a full wrap of lead weights in the front and none in the rear and add weight as u see necessary but im sure Brandon can give you a better starting point

Hey Nick, the S9156 worked really well for me. Although now I am running the S9157 and couldn't be happier.

Hey g_green, I would start with 4-6 oz's in each front and leave the rear alone. See how you like it. If the rear feels too light add more weight. If the front seems to want to lift on steep climbs, do the same.

Oops I meant for the winch servo
I have the futaba s9157 for my steering and it's a beast and I love it it made me a futaba guy
so I dunno if you meant use the s9157 for winch or not lol?
If you are ever close to Manteca be sure to tell me i'd love to show you my rig it has REALLY come along way from the last time you saw it
when I get her out on the rocks with the new dig servo radio and fx r I'll send you some pics

Thanks Brandon. I started with 6oz in each front and put 3 in the rear. I have not been able to try it out yet because of all the snow.

We haven't experienced any of those problems ourselves. I was helping another guy with his and I am still looking into what may have caused that. Bender is back from KOH today so I will mention it to him as well.

Getting ready for the Axial West Coast Qualifier #5 in Nor-Cal

Haven't made any updates in a while. Not much has changed, trying a few different things that I will share if they work out.

Also picked up a set of super 300's from Superdave. Never had any issues with my Axial CVD's for the 18 months I ran them, but the extra few degrees I can get with the 300's had me sold.

Painted up a new Axial XC1 to beat up this weekend too.
