Adding weight to rims

[terrioso]

I just got my axial artr recently,and I would like to add some weight to the front rims.My question is how many ounces are a good starting point?

[tapped-out]

dependes on your steering servo 645 servo about 3-3.5 oz.on fronts rear none. Stronger servo I would add 2 full wraps of wheel weights on fronts about 7-10 oz. 1 wrap on rears 3-3.5 oz. IMO.

Everyone has worked a lot on getting their crawlers set up to their style and like, your best bet is to start with one full wrap in the fronts and a stick cut in half with each of the half's in a rear, then go from there if you want and need more. It is always easy to add some if you need it later, but each person and each crawler has it's own likes and sometimes more is not the best, in the last 2 weeks I have seen a few break from too much too early (snapping stock c-hubs and rear hubs rolling down rock). Start light, fix things as it breaks, then once it is bullet proof and you have added the aluminum parts you can add more.

I went with 6 ounces in each front rim and nothing in the rear,and it seems to doing much better.Thanks for the help.
