Definitely try to evenly distribute it if you can, the con with adding weight to the lower chassis is it will raise the center of gravity. You want to try and distribute as best as possible. The Tiger 1 metal early version tracks I just weighed at 3.25lbs or 1.625lbs on each side Hopefully that gives a good starting point.
