too much weight in front wheels?

[bikerj08]

Hey guys I don't have a scale so I can't weigh my front wheels but I'm wondering if I have too much weight. I am running the stock axial wheels with the internal weight system loaded. 4 oz. for weight ring and (6) .75 oz. axial weights for 8.5 oz total. Proline chisels with memory foam. Thanks.

Wow, with the proline memory foams and that much wieght in the tires. You are looking at around or over a pound per wheel and tire front. It is up to you how it crawls and feels. I found my rig to be nose heavey with wieghts in the tires. It also depends on the terrian you crawl. Try it out and see how it fits your driving style and tune from there. I found on my rig with VP wheels that no wieght is needed at all. Some times I add 1oz per front, I change it up per terrain and tire that I am running.

front feels super heavy compared to rear, my last rig was a losi mrc pro so i set it up to feel similar because that is the only thing i have experience with my first moa 2.2 rig.

i think i will take some weight out and just see how it does, maybe i will get some more life out of the stock gears :ror: thanks

4 slugs and the ring should be enough. 5 slugs if you like it heavy, but then I would add 1 1/2 oz to each rear.

I'm running the stick wheels with panther leopard tires. 2oz internal and 3 oz in slugs for the most part.
