Weight distrubution - to front heavy

[Desmo]

I think the stock Ascender weight distrubution is quite good.
After i've installed winch and winchbumper, the Ascender got way to front heavy.



A servo winch would be better for weight distrubution, but since i now have the SSD winch I will have to solve this issue. I'm thinking of using a separate battery for the winch, and mount as far back as possible.

It would be nice to see your solution on this issue.

Have you thought about some Codyboy Design weighted rear axles?

I used a combination of GCM Ascender combo kit to move the motor/transmission forward under the hood, and an axial wraith battery tray to move the battery to a more central position, it helped to keep the front end from being too heavy.

Have thought about weighted rearaxle, but that won't be enough.
Whats the weight of a Codyboy rear axle compared to a Stock?

Hi Desmo, I have an old balance beam scale that should be close to actual weight. Stock axle is 28 grams and my weighted axle comes in at 92 grams.
So 64 grams difference, = 2.3 ounces. (I think)
