Default Weight in Bmax2mr

So what's everyone doing for weight in the mid motor bmax2?

How much and where in the car?

Pretty much all the other mid motor cars I've ever driven all need a load of weight under servo/esc, and some under the battery as well...the few setups I've found so far are very vague on this.

Mine is getting it's first outing on Friday at Calidcot, looking forward to it

10g on servo 10g in front of servo and 25g in the front of the car works for me but the biggest improvement for me was to put orange losi front springs on it and take the washers out from under the in side ball stud on the front

i there
i am thinking about switching vom durango to yokomo

the only thing, i dont like on this car is they way the wiring goes
i see people balancing their cars with weights very carefully.

but then i see so much heavy wires just on one side on the bmax2 mr.
wouldn´t this be a issue?

Thanks for the replies...not huge amounts to go on, so going for 55g under saddles, plus 30g under servo, plus jamming 5g under the front bumper for what it's worth.

Will play with more in the nose during the night on Friday.

Griff...no pics as yet...will get some up as soon as I get chance...lovely build though...and little bro has done a fab job of the shell too

And no nationals this year. Too much to do with getting WORM going this summer and Caldicot as ever, so sticking to SW regionals, and maybe try and get out to something bigger once or twice over the summer if I can. Will miss the camping and weekend racing otherwise!

Will def go back to nats when I can though

How about you?
