Default Weight with Aluminum rims???

Hello, new to the scale/crawler scene. I picked up a SCX10 with aluminum CD4WD Pythons on it. Is anyone running weight in the tires using aluminum rims? if so how much are you running? Thanks

I have an SCX10 with stock wheels and tires. I run it with no weights at all. It is very capable with this set-up. I would think you should be fine with the weight of the aluminum wheels without any extra weights added.

Thanks 1rcmonster, I'll run it without any weight. Are you running the stock tires? Fargo.. You aren't too far away..

Yes I am running the stock tires.

We plan on stopping by Falls Park on our way back from Crawlapalooza in Oct. Either Sunday the 11th or Monday the 12th....

Very cool, should have the bugs worked out by Oct.. This truck has RC4WD Dirt Grabbers on it, they are real as heck looking but I'm not sure how they crawl.. I'll probably be swapping them out. Thoughts??

Only RC4WD tires I have are there Outcroppers. I run them on my Highlift F350 and love them. Great traction but then again my F350 weighs close to 12lbs.
