Exactly 937. Split evenly between the tires.

JK. Actually a lot of guys are running about 9 oz in each tire. You may need to add more or less depending on your setup. Keep in mind that the more weight you add to your front tires the harder it is on the truck. Especially the servos.

How much you run is really just a matter of what works for you. Some people run an ounce or two, some run eight. Some people run more in the front, or only in the front to keep the front tires on the rocks on steep inclines.

I know "BB" or "BBs" won't work for the search function, but there are some threads out there if you search for "Wheel Weights" or something similar.

"Wheel Weights"
"Tire Weights"
"Wheel Weight Testing"

I've never actually weighed the amount I use. I just use a shot glass full in each front tire. Works for me.

I used 35mm film case to add BB's to my wheels, two in each wheel. The cheep scale I used one film case full was @ 4 oz.
