i use around 55grms round the servo and thats it,mainly just to keep the car from lifting front wheels. but the one thing i often think to myself is that if i need to weight a car to say "ride the bumbs better" surely this means that my spring/damping is to heavy for the weight of the standerd car, to me adding weight is just an easy and maybe lazy way to tune the car into riding the bumps smoothly instead of spending hours finding the right oil weight and spring rate to smooth the cars chassis without adding weight, also adding weight surley will put strain on your drive gear/electrics etc,and the heavier the car the more chance to break in an impact or crash. another thing whilst were discussing weight and how important it is on were to put it etc, how many people balance the wieght of the reciever to the esc, and actually check and balance corner weights?
