Have a flick through the Axial Section. Lots of people use different set up depending on foams, tires, conditions etc.

When I first started I was using 10oz in the front and 4oz in the rear with Rock Claws on my Axial. I now run a Berg and run 8oz up front and nothing in the rear. Drive shafts are a good upgrade anyways. Max Shafts are reasonably priced and Thundertechs are bombproof. |

| Try this
I've been in alot of Rock Comp this season, and I still run my stock drive shafts. I run 8oz on each front wheel and 4oz outback on each rear wheel. Most guys say I run to light, but hey it works for me and thats all that matters.  |

The lighter the better IMO. I used to run 7oz each front and 3oz each rear. I stepped up to Vanquish DH comps and love them. I was running full weights in the front and half in the rear. Now I run 2 weights in each front and nothing in the rear. A little light than my stock wheels with 7 and 3 but not much. I love the wheel but I would like to shed even more weight. Simple physics tells us the light something is the easier it is to get it up a hill. I dunno about you but I would rather push and empty wheel barrow up a hill than a full one. And on the drive shaft thing. Pede half shafts work awesome. I don't even use rings and haven't broke one yet. I broke my stocker front like the first time out but my rear lasted like 8 months lol. I was kind of upset when it broke kind of a sentimental thing. |

 Although I think it had more to do with the new front overdrive gears I just put in. I've had the rig bound up more than that without the OD gears and was just fine. | |

Everthing was just fine until you decided to switch things up. My hats off to you for trying, because you know if it had work for you I would have been right behind you with the switch. Lets blame the front overdrive gears " works for me ". | |

A lot of the local guys run between 6-8oz in the front and 3-4oz in the rear.
