Needed a little weight when using the RC without the FEL on hills. I am going to build a bumper / tie-rod protector but didn't want it to be too heavy.

I used window washer fluid and each tire held right at 6.5gal. That's about 108# of front weight that is on the ground. I used a garden pump sprayer, removed the nozzle and the hose slipped right over the valve stem. Pump it about 10 times and wait til the fluid stops dropping, then twist the pump/lid open a bit to let the air pressure in the tire out, then repeat. Took about 4 cycles like this per gallon. Didn't take too long at all. Cost about $30 or so.

That'll help with steering when FEL is off and you have a load on the back.

I did build a front bumper to help protect the tie rods and add a little weight. But I haven't felt like the front end needed more weight on mine.
