Default MadRat weight distribution?

hi guys! here's another question I've bought today some weights. 1x50g and 4x10g
How should I make a good weight distribution out of theese? adding slowly more and more weight and watching how the car handles? and where to put them? on the servo, on the sides? I know, it depends on the track I will run. But I thought, there is a standard thing which would help in any case. Thanks in advance!

Ask you before what miss to the car.
Do you want more steering ? Put some weight, I would say 20/30gr on the front.
If its better, ask you if you need more traction. If so, put some weight on the rear, I would say at least 20gr (10gr per side)

I will need more steering, for sure. Last time I was racing on that track, I had almost no steering. Now I will have proline 4ribs M3 on the front. I hope that will help too

I used to have 50 grams on the servo and a fair bit of toe out, once I got good tyres on it, then it really went around the corners good like that

The front tire will change your life !
If you still need more steering, put the weight.

Dont forget that if you have more steering, you may need more traction on the rear.
