wheel weight

[Daddydancool]

my build is almost done and i am the wheels right now. I would like to know the weight of your wheels. i did some search on the forum but i only found one post and it was 5oz each front wheels and 2oz on each rear, is that a good setup?

I add just enough so the balance point of truck is where the front lower links attach to the truck.

sounds good, but do you add any rear weight before balancing the front this way?

Nope. I like to keep the truck light. Only time I could see adding weight to front and rear is if the truck is top heavy and you want to lower the center of gravity.

ok thanks, i will start by balancing the truck at the end of the skid (front) and see from there ;)
sure thing, it makes sense!
