|  Adding weight??? I have had my Losi MRC for a while now. At this time it is still in stock configuration. One of the biggest problems I had right out of the box is the weight. The rig is to light weight. I tried adding some weights on the wheels, and it helped but it still needs more down low to help grip. Any suggestions?? |

I moved my battery to the rear axle and a full size servo with wheel weights up front...

weight on the front axle, but honestly after wheel weights and low COG elec. mounting I've learned the light weight has a much diffrent driving style than a 2.2 rig, or even a 1.9 scaler. It seams to me that the MRC pro really likes throttle blipping to hop up on things and suuuper slow crawling in other spots on difficult things. |

The stock plastic wheels with weights are still way too light. You really need aluminum wheels with weight. My old MRC had Vanquish wheels and I loaded the fronts with slugs and two slugs in the rear. You just can't get that much weight on the stock setup.

It will vary based on driving style, terrain and setup, but I would say around 4.5-6oz for each front wheel/tire and 3.5-4.5oz for each back wheel/tire. You can also add weight to the rear 4-link plate or on the servo plate if you can't get enough on your wheels. Quote:
