Default How much weight needed for the front tires?

i was reading all kinds of different amounts people had, so i put 5 on each tire which totals it to 2.5 oz. in the front. Is that good?

i had to cut the 1/4 oz weights in half to fit in the rim (tire side) so i have about 1 oz inside and 1 1/2 hub side per wheel. the i have 2 1/4 on the axel both on the servo and the top of the axel. for the rear i have the battery and only hub side weight so 1 1/2 oz per wheel. 4 full stick of sticky weights. it really helped. doesnt seem to hurt the servo yet, but i life to kill servos (i guess)

I've put some 1/4 oz self stick wheel weights from Car Quest on mine. I put 6 pieces (1.5oz if my math is correct) on each front wheel and none in the back as of yet. The rear axle currently has the battery mounted on it until the next payday when I can get a little park flier li-po and charger for the truck. I may double the weight up front and the 1.5oz per rear at that point.
