Default Weight bias

What’s the ideal weight bias for a scale comp rig? If there is such a thing...
I was thinking somewhere around 60-40. It’s not ideal with to little weight on the rear axle going down steep terrain.

60-40 as low as possible seems to be the norm.

I agree. 60/40 is the best of both "worlds", climbs better and not that bad downhill..

Agree with 60/40...when I went too much heavier on the front, steep downhills became tricky to manage without tumbling forward.

Scale rig, 60/40, comp rig, 70/30.

This is just a generalized starting point, each rig and driver is different.
