Steve--
Great idea; thanks for posting it. It will be interesting to see what replies come forth.
In my model railroading, I use adhesive-backed lead weights to make cars track properly on the rails. They come in several different sizes and weights and are usually available at hobby shops in the model railroading section. They might be an alternative for those who can't do the wheel weights. On my MT crawler I use a black Hummer H2 body which leaves plenty of room between the chassis and the roof. I've thought of moving the battery to the top of the chassis and filling the empty battery well with lead weights.
Tell me, if you would, what the final gear ratio is on your MT. What gears and motor are you using? After seeing a picture elsewhere, I rebuilt my gear box from a ratio of 27.98:1 to 83.95:1 by using a 6-tooth pinion and a blue gear from a ZZ.
