Front wheel weights?

[95yjsahara]

Ok I'm looking to add some weight to my front wheels. My question is how much weight and what creative ideas have you used to add that weight on the cheap lol. I'm not wanting to spend a ton of money as I have a 1:1 crawler I have to keep up as well.

I use adhesive stick on wheel weights from Les Schwab tire store. I pay 1.25 a strip. I use 8oz each wheel up front and 4oz each wheel out back. Each strip is 3oz. after I lay them out on the center of my wheels I use electric tape to wrap them so it doesnt damage my foams. You may have to trim out the center of the foam for proper fitment, its on my wraith and I use it for rock crawling only. Make sure you space out the weights evenly when you overlap them. My wraith sticks to rocks like a spider when crawling as oppose to with out weights in them.

Take the wheels apart (if you tires are not glued on) and add stick on automotive style wheel weights to the wheel and then refit the tire. How much is up to you, I like about 3oz per wheel. The downside is all the added stress to the drive train the weighted wheel adds.

I reconfigure my wraith so that all the weight of the battery is moved from the back, to up front under the hood.....along with all the electronics. This helps the truck handle a lot better also, and can be done for free, or almost free depending on how you do it.
