Default Rear tire weight?

Anybody running any weight in the rear tires? How much?

I run 8oz in each front, and am thinking about adding 2-3oz in each rear, opinions??

I am running 3oz in each front none in the rear with my battery up front and electronics in the rear and it works great. The wraith is already fairly heavy without adding a ton of weight and putting more stress on your driveline and motor. Putting that much your motor will probably cook in no time especially without the correct gearing.

I have been running the Proline 8oz rings in the front for awhile with no problems whatsoever, and am thinking of adding a few oz's in the rear to help keep the rear "planted" just a little better because this Wraith's are friggin' top heavy!.
This is a dedicated scale crawler and I am running an FXR w/ a Tekin 45t and 60t, 13t 32p gears.
