| how much weight to add?
I found the stick on wheel weights finally. im pretty new to this. i was going to wrap the back wheels one time and the front wheels 2 times. sound like a good way to go? if it matters the tires are proline hammers. rims and crawler rpm narrow wheels. thanks for the help |

it really depends on your truck. where your batteries are, what axles, what wheelbase, overall weight of the truck. ETC ETC ETC. On my TLT based rig with a 8cell 2/3A pack on the front axle i used about 4 oz each front, 2 oz rear. However on my berg i use 1.5 oz in the front +5 ball bearings (mayhem CDP wheels), and only 3 ball bearings in the rear (no stick ons). My dads axial rig has 5 oz front 1 oz rear with the lipo on the rear axle. what it comes down to is trial and error, just like tire and foam setups, try, try, and try untill its right |

Best bet is to just add a bit more in front than the back say 6 and 4, 8 and 5 what ever you want, then tune it from there. I think i have mine where i want it now with 7+ battery in front and 6 oz in the back.

Once I went with a small 2200 lipo in the front I went with 15 oz in each front tire and 12 1/2 oz in each rear. I love the way it performs. Just depends on what your running. |

I'm running fully loaded Vanquish DH procomps at 14.5oz per front and 10.5oz in the rear and love it. |
