Need advice on front and rear wheel weights.
 
Any TXT-1 owners can help me out would be much appreciated. "thumbsup"

I am looking at putting some weights in my wheels and would like some measurements of what people are using in their front and rear wheels.

Currently my tyre, rim, and inner foam weigh total of 12oz per wheel with no wheel weights in them.

If anyone can tell me how:
1. How much weight they added to each front wheel
2. How much weight they added to each rear wheel
or..
1. How much total each front wheel weighs including tyre,rim, foams, and wheel weights.
2. How much total each rear wheel weighs including tyre,rim, foams, and wheel weights.

Then I would have a good starting point to buy some wheel weights. :)

*Bump*

Can I assume would be similar to amount of weights users add to their Axial trucks? Do they have similar weight distibution?

On my TXT-1 the motors are in the front and I'll have two batteries (one mounted on each side of the chassis). Not really any weight added to the rear, only the receiver. Currently my wheels are 12oz each with no wheel weights in them.

Would 7oz in each front and 3oz in each rear wheel sound good or maybe 8oz each front and 4oz each rear?

I just want a good idea for starting point that won't put a harmful strain on my stock drivetrain parts. Only changes there are a 9t pinion and running a single 70t brushed motor.

Thanks for any advice!

there is plenty of space to add weight on the knuckles , save the drivetrain and motor power....
