|  Front to rear weight bias.....
I am looking to buy some Vanquish wheels soon, and am looking at whether to get weightable wheels in the front or not, and weighed each axle with the rig sitting level with the other axle supported. My rear axle of my rig was 1.60 lb and my front axle was 2.60 lb with no wheels on and otherwise RTR.So that would be the weight bias if I ran four wheels evenly weighted. And my front tire wheel combos are approx. 7 oz per wheel heavier than the rears. Hence the reason for me planning a wheel diet for my rig. Is my bias about normal before wheels?  |

So without wheels I run approx. 62% front bias....at 4.2 lb......NOW, with my UCW's no tires or foams it's at 6.3 lb total weight with a 61% front bias....Meaning I can run all SLW's at the same bias with alot less weight, and the same bias....Actually total rig weight ought to be around 4.7 -5.0 lb.. Not too bad at all!!!  How does this compare with your numbers? |
