RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - Truggy Weight balance, should it really be 50/50? What's best

I actually don't worry too much about weight front to rear as long as its reasonable. Weight balance left to right is much more important in my opinion. I say this because you can't correct the car in the air if its leaning to one side, but you can if the nose is going to far up or down by giving gas or brake. On my Revo I have about 60-40 weight distribution (rear-front). And I just slightly tough the brakes on a jump and it lands perfect every time. On my CRT.5 however, it is a little nose heavy, so off I a jump I just hit the throttle a little and it lands perfect.
