What is the weight distribution on a Bit?

Bits drift easier with weight on the back. But too much weight makes it too slow. Can anyone tell me what is the weight difference experienced by the front + back wheels?
Thanx

I don't understand that, can you please explain?
are you asking if there weight is evenly distributed between the front and rear wheels on a stock car?
...and for now I'm moving this to the "Reception / Body / Chassis / Controller"
(#1 please try and post in the appropriate forum - I know it can be confusing at times, but please give it your best effort. thanks!)

are you asking like the weight per axle kinda thing... just get you're favorite drug dealing friend to help you setup a truck weigh station.... park the front axle on the scale and the back axle off the scale but at the same height as the front.... and vice versa to figure out the back weight...

I second that, I have yet to see a bit drift...
Unless you count the "bit" of drift in my walk after about 9 beers.
No but really I have seen these rift axles and POOP (keeping it clean) but I have yet to see in real life or a vid of a bit drifting.

My chassis (without body) weighs 19.9 grams. The front wheels support 7.6g, and the back wheels support 11.8g..
I know there are a few tenths missing if you add the weight, but it's the best I can do at 2:00 in the morning
I guess the rear supports about around 65%-70% of the weight..
Is that what you were asking?

Thank you very much, I always thought it was the other way round. Well when i'm adding weight, I'll have to 'wing it' and get back to yall.

Can you contribute to the 'i have a drifting bit' topic in the general forum?
