This crawler has no alloy/brass, overdrive mods, we A/B test the effect of adding a lb. of wheel weight.

Great video. Just installed a LCG battery tray and brass front portal covers (100 grams each) on my TRX6. The difference in climbing ability is amazing.

Those look sweet! Looks like they make a significant difference. I think It adds more of a scale performance factor to how you have to drive.

Never realised just how significant that 3% is I've been. Slowly edging towards the 60/40 and only just got to a 57/43 and was ready to leave it at that but think I'll carry on trying to reach the magic number.

I love wheel weights. I run the ssd brass rings, over 95+ grams per wheel total. Really helps the linked suspension articulate/drop down in those holes when you need it to.

@BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT

The reason I choose weighted Wheels over adding any Brass, because I love multi universal rigs. If I was going to build a dedicated rock crawler, I might consider adding a small amount of Brass. But I would add the majority of the weight, in the Wheels. Just to be able to do some lighter weight scale trail running in the winters months.

I weighted the front wheels on my scx10 and it made a huge difference. Also added wheel spacers and that alone made a huge difference in tipping over side ways.

80-30 running the Sport Body = AWESOMENESS!!! Well, unless you are heading back down the line 😈

If the added weight inside the tires would allow the rubber to mold and conform to the surface it's crawling over, it would have so much more traction by increasing it's "footprint." People who do the real technical offroading and crawling, air down so their tires get that extra large "squish" at the contact surface.

Cool info

Great information is their a certain weight of your vehicle when you start adding weight to the wheels? Are you running weights in your G speed rig? I have a G speed rig at 5 lbs. no wheel weight. just wondering what your thoughts are. Thanks

@BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT

The only reason I run heavy wheels, is that I can pull them off and run the stock Tires for scale trail running. Then if I want to go rock crawling, I can swap out 2 Tires and get vertical. Win-win!!!
