Best place to add mass for extra grip

[vitnagetrouble]

Hi - to gain the best advantage in off-roading/trials more mass on the driven wheels is generally better.

But do you get the best effect from adding extra mass to sprung or unsprung weight ?

ie to bodywork mounted on the springs, or to the axle itself ?

Cheers.

We're not allowed to do that, but I do have a large lump of lead laying around.....

Car is rear wheel drive.

Thankyou. I had a very heavy bouncer on my last outing and thought I was getting much more grip than with my usual bouncer who is somewhat significantly lighter, hence the question.

Phillip - thanks for input, have managed to get an extra few kgs pushing directly on to sprung chassis parts which may help for the next one.

If not, it's back to the oversized bouncer again, but the lighter ones prettier, female and I'm married to her so she gets first option on the seat haha
