|  weight distribution
Has anyone done the math and found out which weight distribution works best for them? I ran the calcs and added enough weight to the front to make my rig 60/40. It definitely helped, but I haven't played around with other combos to see what works best. My biggest issue is I'm still hanging up on the front of my trans. I need to build a skid. Anyways, just seeing what everyone else is doing. |

8 cell and a 35t motor will help.

 I dont know the specifics of my bias but I like to add as much weight to the front without adding any to the back. This makes my rigs go up inclines like mad but you really have to drive going down hill. Its all personal preferance. | |

I've been using 60/40 for the past couple days. Seems to be working well. I can climb as steep as my tires will have traction so I guess that's good enough. Now for some new tires... | |

Adding wheel weight. The heavy electronic components are pretty limited in mobility due to packaging constraints. Figured I'd leave em where they're at and add weight to the front wheels to give me the weight distribution I was lookin for.
