How much does your Wraith weigh?

[chicklet]

I was curious this morning...

Put my Wraith (w/3s 3600mah lipo) on the scale.

She weighs 7lbs. I need to add some more weights to the wheels to reduce rollovers.

Mines getting to that point.

I'll have to weigh mine tonight. She is getting quite FAT. Everytime I pick it up it surprises me. It has to be in the 8lb+ range.

I'm usually careful who I call fat when I'm around a lady

LOL...I don't know why women are so sensitive about their weight...if it bothers (her), do something about it dammit You'd be surprise how many men PM me and still call me dude or man. I guess my pink signature isn't bright enough LOL.

Im still very new to the crawling scene and I need to add weight as well... what methods are you guys and gals using?

[stick-boy-rick]

6lbs.
i have 10oz. in each rear tire
and 6oz. in each front tire (due to the battery relocated up front)
when i hold it by the skid in the palm of my had, it feels pretty balanced.

You can wrap stick on wheel weights around the outside of the wheel (inside of the tire), or you can try and get the weight on the chassis. I prefer to just get my weight forward on the chassis. This way I still have that snappy acceleration and it's easier on axle parts.

Once I get everything forward then if I need any more weight I'll add it at the wheel.

Thanks I was just thinking of stick on tire weight.... i wouldn't put them in the wheels just on the frame. I hate when your climbing dirt and it starts bouncing when all 4 are spinning. How much do you think i should add?

In the tire works well to lower your COG but makes acceleration more sluggish. Sometimes a worthwhile trade.

I would start with 4oz's and work up.
