That's a great way of doing it and here's a few tips and info regarding adding weight.

- It adds stress to your drivetrain as there's more for it to push and climb.
- Uni's wear out quicker, Servo's are under more strain ect.

Dont go to far with weight and more to the point, strategicly place it. On or around the axles is best. Servo's are usually rectangle so you can get a good amount stuck onto the back and sides of them. Ideally you want it (as said above) on or around the axles to get the lowest center of gravity and maximum grip.

Dont go too far with adding weight. I found there's a limit to where it works best - then works against you. Remember the truck still has to climb up hills!
