| I'm running 6 oz in the front and 3 oz in the rear but that may be a bit high for some people. But in my back yarder I run 3.5 oz in the front and 2 oz in the rear. It's really all up to what you feel is best for you and your driving style. I don't know if this will help you but there ya go....lol  |

6oz in the front with 5oz in the rear with cougars and stock axial foams and tire vents....i had mem foams with no vents in them at first, but when i vented the tires they lost traction big time....went with a stiffer foam i had on hand to see what happened....get back better traction then with mem and no air holes and way better support in the side walls on the slick stuff we have in pa.............bob .... |

It's going to come down to driving style, and preference. I like a heavy rig, rears are just over 1lb each and fronts 1.5lbs. But then I like em heavy  Running Pro-Line Titus rims with NWTT #8 mem reaches, with white dot rovers. Good GC and the weight keeps it planted. Last edited by gordieb; 05-31-2009 at 10:25 PM. |

With stock wheels or a similar plastic wheel like the Proline 8 shooters I run 8.5oz in the fron and 4.5oz in the rear, it helps keep it planted  |

In my crawler I have 180 grams in the front and 60 in the rear. Same in my wifes rig. Seems to work well for us, but we dont run comp trucks. We just use them for fun.

I have 4 oz per tire in the front and none in the rear yet. It definately needs more, but I have seen an improvement already.

I'm running 4oz. of lead and 2 oz. of BBs in the front and nothing in the rear, but I think I'm gonna run more in the front and now I' gonna put some in the back too.

I'm running 3.5 oz in the front on Panthers/Axial wheels. I am considering adding more because I am getting no bite on the front end. Hopefully more is good for me. |

8 oz in front and 4 in the rear; I use bird shot. I may go up another oz in the rear on account that while digging the front pulls the rear around a little too much |

Each front tire (rim/tire) weighs 12oz and the rear (rim/tire) weighs 8oz! Truck works great, just the driver needs work! |

Unless everyone here is running the same rims, these weights are irrelevant. I run stock wheels, so I may need more weight than a guy running aluminum. |
