Default wheel weight

i am currently in the process of rebuilding the whole front axel it sucks to be down this long as i can't just buy every thing i need at one time and I'm tired of just spending money to get by and make it run my question is i only have 2.5oz of weight inside each tire and that seems to work good for me but i keep snapping axel shafts been through 2 sets of dog bones and a set if axial cvs they broke i believe cuz my c-hub broke any how are running knuckle weights the way to go seems like it will be a lot less stress on the shafts and if so who make the best ones i will be using VP c-hubs and knuckles...... thanks for the help

I run 2x batteries in my wraith...no need to weight wheels, actually we back to plastic type wheels from alloy and steel and haven't broken any driveline parts in ages

Cool Re: wheel weight

Wheel weights are a must in my opinion. For crawling that is.

Because if you didn't have a tube in the front it might be all you need without the need for knuckle weights
