How much knuckleweight do you run on your front axle on your XR10? I'm running 76 grams at each knuckle.
 
I run on average about 90grams per side out at the wheel.

But weight is more of something thats driver wanted/terrain/vehicle needed type thing. I just mean theres never gonna be a 'you have to run this amount' type number all rigs will run.

Where its placed plays in also when you start to think about how much someone is using.
 
I'm using Rcbros knuckle weight holders. Have also used vp knuckle weights.
But can't really decide on What's best, but with Rcbros it is easy to tune the weight.

Any chance with those causing wheel bearing issues?

Technically anything will hurt the wheel bearings if you add more weight. That little bit of weight wont be a problem, especially compared to the weight and forces the tire/wheel put on the bearing.

To answer the original question, yes, its all preference and location. I prefer as much weight as possible. Currently I am running 12.7oz per side of added knuckle weight.
 
I put the dlux knuckles on my xr10, very impressive stuff , fir the price of slu knuckles and weight add
On is very better
 


I ran a almost 6oz per side of KW "thumbsup" berg blue monkey knuckle weight.
