: Center Of Gravity??front Or Rear 71RCKCRZR RYAN 05-19-2002, 06:52 PM IVE HEARD A LOT OF PEOPLE TALK ABOUT MORE WEIGHT OVER THE FRONT IS BETTER.....WHY WHATS YOUR OPINION?? I LIKE IT CENTERED.I HAVE MY MOTOR BEHIND MY FRONT WHEELS. MY CRUZAH WEIGHS 4250 AND THE FRONT IS 140LBS MORE THAN THE REAR. HOW DO THE PROS SET UP WEIGHT?? dirtrod 05-19-2002, 07:12 PM I like less weight in front, mine is 50/50 with a full tank, it lands much lighter and the front gets up on ledges real easy. BRB 05-19-2002, 07:37 PM mines heavier in the front, not as good for flat boulder crawling, but on uphill climbs the weight shifts rearward and it becomes balanced..... Gordon 05-19-2002, 07:51 PM Front heavy climbs better. going up a steep hill you have a more even weight distribution if you are nose heavy. If your terrain is more like Moab you would probably want to be more front heavy than if your terrain is like JV. But like was posted earlier if the rear tires are on slippery stuff it is hard to get the fronts to climb a steep ledge with a front heavy vehicle, so really it is a compromise depending on where you wheel most.
