Weight

[Briguy-01]

How much weight are you adding to your front and rear wheels ?

The answer depends on which SCX-10 and what mods you have done.

I have found that a 60/40 front to rear weight ratio works well. I am using 4 oz of stick on tire weights in each front wheel and and 2 oz in each rear tire.

This is for a Honcho. The right amount of weight for a Honcho is probably different than a JK. The JK body is a bit heavier and the spare tire is on the rear bumper instead of over the tire.

My truck is the Dingo length, and I run about 60/40 forward heavy. maybe a little more forward heavy than that, but I've never weighed it out. just kept adding weight to the tires till it felt "right" for what I drove it on. (mostly trail, occasional crawling)

depends on what kind of driving you do, what kind of setup your truck has, and the other things like length, width, and personal preference.

In my Honcho I run zero extra weight in the rear tires and 3oz of stick on wheel weights in the front tires with another 1/2oz of weight on the servo. Works well for me and I have no complaints.

I went with the more is more rule of thumb lol

I put 6oz in each front wheel and 3oz in each rear. Just make sure that you space it as evenly as possible so that you do not have a really obvious "heavy" spot in the wheel. I went heavy also because I put on 100mm shocks and that increased my overall height so I wanted more weight down low..... I have the dingo on 2.2's and she can slow crawl up rocks no problem and also drives great on flat trails. I think its better to be safe and weight it for the "occasional" rather than the "always" so that you can handle the obstacles when they come.

thats awesome for uphill, but if you stop on a downhill it has a much higher chance of rolling over itself forward no?

Not really. Ive had weight in the rear and it really didnt change much. If I feel the back wanting to come up, give it some throttle and it comes back down.
