Everyone has there on opinions. But chances are you are going to have to add some weight. A good place to start(and I am going to answer your question) Total weight wheel,tire,foam,and weight. Try starting around 15-17 ounces total each front.I would try 8-11 total for each rear and go from there. Lots of things play into how much weight you add like suspension setup,tires,foams,cg. But this should be a good starting point. And yes I can setup suspension but I still run 15 each front and 8 each rear. |

Everyone should know that what works for one driver may not work with another driver, or any other driver for that matter. It's all based on preference. Weight on your front axle (battery, HD lockers) will affect the amount of weight that you need to add. You also have to keep in mind your wheel speed and power going to your motor. Like Ken and I have told you, more in the front, and about half as much in the rear is a good starting point. People typically don't go to much over 1lb (16oz) per wheel. Donnie, I used the search function for you and posted the results. This would have answered your question from the get-go. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/searc...archid=2358995 peace out Last edited by helhedded; 12-15-2008 at 01:59 PM. |

If Hitman wants to run no weight at all, just let him. It seems to work for him, and if others want to try it, just let them.

I forgot to add but obviously the weight of the wheel will play a big factor in how much weight you need to add. My girlfriend's rig has stock aluminum Berg wheels and I only had to add 3oz of stick weights to the front wheels to get them to weigh (with tires, foams, hardware) 10oz. I didn't even have to put any on the back wheels. With no weight she is right at 6.7oz. Just for shits and giggles I weighed a Losi Rock cCaw tire and it came out in between 2.5 and 3oz by itself. Everything plays a part in setting up your weight. Last edited by helhedded; 12-16-2008 at 08:01 AM. | |

Change your tire and foam setup.
Linear Mode
