Default Wheel weighting

What should i be looking for when weighting my wheels? How do i know if i have enough or too much? I have a losi micro crawler and when i am crawling onsome blocks it seems the back digs in and just flips over. I am wondering if more forward weight would help.

does it flip backwards or roll sideways? if backwards then a lil bit will help, if sideways then no.

forward weight is the main concern, how much weight is purely up to your personal driving preferences.

Its flipping backwards. I assume the greater weight up front allows the front to bite more and let the back break free.
