Default Weight balance

How much added weight are you guys running in the front of your crawler with the battery in the rear?

I added weight until my front was just a bit heavier than the rear using the skid plate as the fulcrum.

I heard what ever you put in the front you put half that in the back. I have 3oz in front (1.5 in each wheel). seems to be working good.

I placed 4 oz in each front wheel and a total of 4 oz on the rear servo plate. Very heavy in the front but the Hitec seems to handle it well. I moved the battery back to stock location.

the stock battery weighs 4.5oz. My aftermarket 1500 weights 4.7oz and a 1500 lipo weighs 2.7oz. I ran 2.5 oz in each front, 2.0oz in each rear, and an added 2.0oz in misc placed weights on the front end around the servo and mounts. I am running the Flat irons and it is awesome.
