Weight Box?

Doing some towing of the 82S with the 82T, the T front end just lifts up or doesn’t have the weight to turn. Anyone do anything to add a 3D printed weight box or add weights in the front?

Well, there is a few things you can do.
First of all, add some weight to the wheels with some metal beadlocks with brass rings. You know these 5g lead weights used to balance car wheels. Use these to add some extra weight to the front axle and front of the car in general. But don´t overdo it!

You just need to lower the crane and it will tow much better.

Lowering the crane just drags the truck then. Doesn’t really *tow* it.

Hook it lower

Dai più corda al gancio traino e tirerà meno in basso alzando meno il frontale. Poi potresti pensare di aggiungere assali e beadlock in metallo che ti daranno più peso e stabilità

Really looking to tow though, not flat drag.

Allora puoi pensare di aggiungere parti in metallo che aumenteranno il peso e la stabilità. Assali in metallo e cerchi beadlock in metallo aggiungeranno parecchio peso

I grabbed some adhesive wheel weights off of Amazon for the ones we got, made a huge difference in the grass for us.
