hi guys, i am going in my second hill climb on sunday, the last one i had traction issues especialy as i spent a bit of time with only one rear wheel on the ground.

just thought i'd ask if any one had any ideas of a good starting weight (to add some ballast to my ute). Also should i centralize the wieght above the diff or half on one side and half on the other? I know it will be a bit of trial and error but a starting point will be of great help.

i have softened up the rear shocks and stiffened up the front, still have the standard front sway bar though (to be upgraded). i hope this will help a bit?

Wheres the hill climb Jeff? If its in Wanners i might come up and watch for a bit.

Maybe try a old wheel in the back? Then add another if its not enough? Ive got some old 12"s or 2 13" mags you can have.

Or sandbags?

i would have thought extra weight is a big no no, what about moving weight like your battery from the front to back??
