During my mains this weekend I was playing with adding weight and moving the battery placement around. I found that I like 2.5 oz in front of the rear toe block and the full size pack moved all the way forward. With adding the 4th hole to the rear tower the truck was planted! I could throw into a corner with no worries about it breaking loose or traction.
With the added rear weight and leaning in the shocks more I found that I lost steering
Question
How many guys add weight to the front to help balance the truck or to gain steering? For my main I temporally added .50 oz above the servo. This really helped steering but its starting to feel like a tank instead of as nimble as I am use to. I am removing the servo to get the weight placment in front of the servo but I am starting to wonder if I just need to remove more weight from the rear to bring back my steering instead of turning my SC10 into a weighted truck. I run Mod so that is not a big deal. But I certainly can ruduce my drag brake now LOL
