Here's the setup Donny and I usually run outdoors. It should be a very good place to start.

Also, make sure you do everything on the sheet. Doing half the setup and not the rest can really throw off the balance of the car. We worked for quite a while to come up with this and are still refining it.

Steve Weiss once explained to me how having the batteries back actually increases steering. Think of a pendulum. The longer the string, the more force the pendulum has. Now think of the batteries as the weight on the pendulum tied to the front of the car. The farther back on the car the batteries are, the more force they have to swing the rear end around.

The further rear ward the batteries are the lighter the front end gets thus the steering get quicker! But the down side once the rear starts to come around its rotates quicker causing the car to over rotate!
The further forward the batteries the slower the reaction which would cause a push!
