Most set-ups are pretty specific about the amount of weight and its placement. There is much discussion in this thread about it. To begin with, where do you race? It's quite different for different circumstances. Here in the U.S. on most dirt tracks, you want total weight between 1550 and 1650 gr. In U.K. on grass/astro, it's about 100 g more.

Most of the team here in the UK use the "Rudebits" weight kit. It is by far the set that offers the most options and diversity of any of the weight kits out there and is an extremly well made piece of kit.

As a general rule, on almost all grass and astro tracks we nearly always use the two under LIPO weights and the under speedo weight in the centre areas of the car. The ones we "tune" or play with most are the servo weights (4 stackable 30g weights - resulting in 120g max) and these fit directly behind the servo. Depending on the track and conditons we run anyhwere from 1 (30g) to all four (120g) of the weights in this area.

The only other area of the car that is covered is the two "rear pods" and when it is wet and slippery we add the corner weights into these two areas and typically will remove "some" or "all" from behind the servo, depeneding on the driver, track, tyres and track conditions at the time etc to suit personal taste.
