Generally I run a 50/50 bias with the car set to balance on pins both left to right and front to rear. From there on a few occasions I have added a 5g weight to either end of the car just past the diff to adjust balance. I am not sure exactly what percentage balance that yields but I would guess its give me no more than a 5% difference between ends. I have tried 10g blocks in place of the 5g I use but when doing so the car seemed to want to swap ends and/or felt like the off-power steering was delayed.

In my experience I would say the Losi is more sensitive to weight distribution than most cars making it an easy & effective tuning option.

If you like I can post some photos of how I balanced my chassis along with the weights I use to shift that balance.
