Default weighting wheels?

how much lead stick on weights is good for a superclass? and should I also use bbs and just cut the foams to leave room for them to roll? I have no weight on my axles yet and everything is mounted and in place. thanks for the help.

I personally don't like bb's, they're unpredictable and sound like a baby's rattle.

as for how much weight to add, that is up to you. gennerally you want a weight distribution between 60/40 or 70/30. measuring this is easy. if you had a truck with a 10" wheelbase, and you were shooting for a 70/30 distribution, you would want your truck to balance 3" behind the front axle.
