That is close...
You could rise up the battery , so it's above the tyres... keeping the weight over the front axle...
Or
Make a alloy bracket that comes down at a angle from the top of the front brace down over the servo...
like this

i see you have weighted the axles is this instead of doing the wheels or have you weighted both
any upsides or down sides?

Re: battery so looks like i need to source some ally plate i do like the look of putting the battery ontop
of the axle..

I only had 3oz of weight in each wheel =6oz then another 1oz in stick on weights... as I never did want it to heavy..
No weights in the rear wheels ,just 1.1/2oz stuck onto the rear axle
By the time I'd gone Li-Po , I'd added a 15t motor , 54t Spur / 14t Pinion gears ,,
So it was more Rock Racer then Crawler..

It's now full blown FOFF, see my thread..
Not my Vid but you'll get a idea of what I'm upto with my AX-10

if you can its also better to weight the axles than the wheels, as then the motor does not need to push the extra weight on the wheels, or less in wheels

[simont]
